Judge this cognac by its bottle

Cognac bottles come in all shapes and sizes. In fact the relatively new Cognac Museum has a whole room dedicated to their historical evolution. Some look like wine bottles while others look more like perfume bottles.
In this assortment of bottles, which one do you think is the most expensive? And the least expensive? And how about your faves? Have your say in the comments!
In a future post, I’ll tell you what’s what–and how much.

The only one I would consider buying is #2. All the others scream “style” (or rather questionable taste) over substance.

#4 can’t, or at least doesn’t seem to be a new design. That would place it in the “old cognac” catagory, which, unlike beer, would make it very expensive.

I love the expensive looking bottles such as 4,6 and 7……cognac to me is an expensive drink and to do it justice it should be bottle in an expensive looking bottle, something that can be put on show…..why not
