I like this question a lot. Quite possibly the greatest achievement in the wine industry was Chateau Rothschild getting the Mouton Rothschild upgraded from a second growth to a First growth (Premier Cru). Since the clssifcation system of the 1850s I think this is the only example of such a feat, although having been out of the industry myself for the past 5 year Cos D'Estournel may have done this as well.
On another front there is a champagne house (salon) who only produce vintage (Cuvee S) wines, and then release them not necessarily in chronological order.
Then there is Chateau D'Yquem. This is THE dessert wineof France, there are no others that can touch it. It is the only one that is classed as Premier Grand Cru and is simply stunning. It can age for over a hundred years. If someone offers you a glass do not turn it down you will see why.
Finally is Tokaji from Hungary. The top of the range is 5 Puttynos, and this again is dessert, and although light in alcohol because of the high suger per litre content can age almost eternally. Usually only bottled in 50cl and expensive it is a rare treat.
I could go on & on &on.

In my opinion Aloxe Corton from the Cotes de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. A full bodied Red made from Pinot Noir grapes.
Wine is subjective though and it should be what you like not what other people tell you is good.the only way to really know what is the best is to try as many different wines as possible and let your taste develop and become more sophisticated over time.
I always go by the grape variety and then the region but it is also useful to know what is good at the moment.
for example Chilean Merlot is very good at the moment.try Casa Leona from M&S it is only about £3.99

Whatever you like the most!
I don't much like wine for wine's sake, I like it to complement and supplement my meal. Because there are so many different wines for different occasions it's really hard to answer this question.
I do like to promote buying what is local to you. This makes sense for produce, but it also makes sense for wine. Particularly because if you go directly to the Winery or vineyard you can usually taste the varieties before you invest in a purchase. This is far better than the grocery store or liquor store clerk who is really only there to check your ID. If you don't live in a wine producing region...well there really isn't a non-wine producing region. Some regions are better than others due to climate and soil conditions, but vintners are actually more interested in microclimates than the overall climate of the region. If you take the same species grape from Vine A and a grape from Vine B which is 20 miles away on the other side of a hill and around the bend of the creek, use the exact same equipment and production method to make them into wine, the wine will taste different (sometimes even dramatically so). In other words, search the internet for wineries in your area. Try a search on "Alaska Wine" or "Canada Wine" or whatever state, country, or region you live in. You are sure to find that there are indeed wines local to you.

Ever produced? Ever? That would be hard to judge, wouldn't it?
For what it is worth, at the present time wine critics generally consider the greatest red wine from year to year to year to be a toss up between Austrailia's Grange Hermitage and Spain's Vega Sicilia; they consider the best red wine FOR THE MONEY (as low as 3 or 4 pounds in the U.K., or $6-7 in the USA) to be Chile's Casilleiro del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon); for white the greatest to be a Montrachet (I forget which one). I am not aware of
a consensus for the best white wine for the money but in my 40 years of tasting experience the one I remember most was an Okanagan Valley appellation (again I forget which one, alas, but it cost about $ 10CDN - $US 6.50 at the time, 6 years ago) pinot grigio.

There is no such thing ,the best wine produced is no more than an opinion ,its a personal thing.What can be asked is what is the most expensive wine,the rarest wine,etc,but they are not the best,.
