Our own summary of 2 tracked offers in 3000 ml, divided down to a 750ml comparable. It is not a merchant listing, and nobody will sell you a bottle at the median. The individual listings are below.

Prices read 2026-10-04. We hold one dated snapshot of merchant prices rather than a series, so there is no retail price chart on this page. The one price history we do own is trade based: the market index.
