fun facts of the day:

chuuya opened a bottle of petrus wine the day dazai left. petrus wine is consistently ranked as one of the most expensive wines.

but he opened a bottle of 1889 vintage petrus wine. an 1889 bottle.

now, the closest I could find on the internet was 1899.

generally the older and rarer a wine is, the more expensive it is.

with that in mind, the only record of vintage 1899 petrus wine I could find was it being sold in january of 2013, AVERAGELY priced at $37,484 USD.

if converted to japanese yen, that's 4,046,510.25.

averagely.

that's a decade between those bottles. A DECADE.

anyway, chuuya likes owning expensive things, clearly. probably, it makes him feel more human -- a fuck you to the people who considered him nothing more than a beast.

so when dazai left, he opened one of the most expensive bottles he had...

because he didn't feel like a human.

yes someone probably did this thread already, and yes I spent more time researching petrus wine than on my own damn essay, what about it
