Honestly, probably around $100 (if it's a single drink, no wine bottles etc.)

Personally I usually order drinks up to $15, but wouldn't feel awful going up to $30 for a treat. From there up to $100 I figure someone would want to do so for the hell of it and not for posing, especially if they have the finances.

After that you're just flaunting money

Retail or Restaurant?
There's no limit there's just a tipping point where it's not worth it to spend the money on it in the sense of taste.
It's just the brand and rarity factor you pay a collectors price for.

Champagne/Cremant/Spumante/Prosecco/Frizzante...
It's all sparkling wine you just pay a premium for the Champagne brand name so in the usual $20-50/bottle champagne area you will get as good/better Cremant/Spumante/Prosecco/Frizzante in the $8-20/bottle price range.
Champagne starts to shine at the $120-200/bottle price point and gets stupid at the "special vintage" prices starting from $250+/bottle...

Same goes with anything else. I enjoyed getting a bottle of Cognac from my grandpas birth year and killing it with him on his 75th birthday. That was a $9600 at retail bottle. Worth the fun for the novelty but taste wise meh, nothing that would outshine a standard Hennessy VSOP at all.

If the actual issue is quality of the beverage, the maximum cost per drink should probably be around $30, if it involves fairly expensive ingredients.

If the issue is the unique experience of the beverage, the maximum cost is almost impossible to determine, as a very rare vintage wine might be almost priceless in that regard.

Personally my price limit is about $35 for a 750ml bottle of wine, and about $100 for a 750ml bottle of hard liquor. My typical purchases are more like $20 for wine and $50 for liquor.

There is no reason for beer to be either exclusive or exotic to warrant a high price point, beyond typical import costs.

mom says a bottle of wine over $20 is pretentious and a bottle of wine under $20 is cheap

basically if it costs at the nice store and is cheap at the shitty one then you are good to go
