Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's wine collection has sold for US$5.6m (ВЈ3.5m) at an auction in Hong Kong.

Among the 746 lots, the most expensive case of wine was a Chateau Petrus 1982, 12 bottles going for $77,564 (ВЈ48,500).

The collection's sale price beat previous price expectations and Lord Lloyd Webber said he was pleased.

"I hope the new owners enjoy my wines as much as I have and I look forward to reacquainting myself with them in restaurants all over China," he said.

Lord Lloyd Webber, who lives in Berkshire, has collected wine since he was a teenager - when he was said to have had it delivered to his public school, the Telegraph reported.

He said that he sold the wine on Saturday because he did not have the space to store it.В
