Wine, what are saving it for?

Yes I agree, the wine industry is being really short-sighted here!! I know it is easier to make a buck targeting the market that is already there, but sooner or later you need to address the issue of bringing people in.


I did not mean to say that the $6-$8 dollar market didn't generate interest. A good wine in that price range always gets MY interest. My statement was that "I" have a hard time getting them...for what ever reason the wines you are buying for $6.99 I am paying $8.99 for. don't know who to blame....lack of competition, retailer, wholesaler, state and city taxes????? Anyway, I do find that the wines in that range that I do buy are not from the US, but from South America and Europe, and sometimes will find an Aussie wine that is good in that range. My buying patterns would support the statement you presented.
