Number of hours—equivalent to a full year of working hours in the U.S.—Lalique (the luxury glass company) spent making the world’s most expensive wine barrel.  The cost? Estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Crafted entirely of crystal, the barrel weighs 882 pounds and currently holds the 2013 vintage of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey Sauternes.
