What wine was served at the inauguration?

The wine served at the inauguration was Chapeau de Dunette 1921. It is a very expensive French specialty sold for $300 a bottle. The inauguration planners ordered 200 bottles of this expensive wine, totaling a price of 30,000, it. Chapeau de Dunette was a popular French wine used by the rich families of France on special occasions such as the New Years celebrations. And if regular families want to afford such a treat, they usually work overtime for many weeks before the celebration! The wine only cost $30,000 for the inauguration because the French president was so impressed at the Americans electing a Black president, that he sold for $150 a bottle for the inauguration. They say that Chapeau de Dunette has a striking taste, slightly strong, but so good to obsorb the shock! All 200 bottles were emptied by the end of the inauguration.
