Wine at auction

Wines from one of the world's most famous cellars, belonging to La Tour d'Argent restaurant in Paris, are going under the hammer.

A total of 18,000 bottles - including wine from Cognac, Champagne, Burgundy and Bordeaux - are to be auctioned.

The sale is intended to raise 1m euros (£0.9m) to renew the cellar's contents and ensure the restaurant keeps its multiple Michelin stars.
