LONDON -
The Nose. Patrick Suskind's antihero Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was willing to kill for his. Ilja Gord, a Dutch winemaker believes his is worth 5 million euros ($8.0 million).
The 47-year-old Dutchman' nose joined a celebrated club, which includes the legs of David Beckham and Heidi Klum and the smile of Ugly Betty star America Ferrara in body parts considered so precious that they have had to be insured.
Gort, a musician turned winemaker and taster who owns a château in Bordeaux, decided to take out the policy after hearing about a man who lost his sense of smell in a car accident.
