A case of Petrus, the expensive wine popular in Gordon Ramsay and other Michelin-starred restaurants - and the name on some legendary trophy lunch bills - would have cost around £13,800 in 2005 for a case of the 1982 vintage.

That may seem a lot for 12 bottles of claret but a year later it was already worth £25,400 a case and by the end of this year even Ramsay would have been lost for words when a case was sold at auction for £43,700.
