Wine Prices to Come Down?

[curious]

am watching the local news, and they said the same thing. That wine prices are going to go down, due to over-production of grapes, and increase of cheaper wines from other countries. Now is a good time to get wines cheap.

To me, this is a negative in many ways, I hate to see small businesses die, and the bigger ones get bigger, as they look to numbers, and not quality.
Can this happen in wine?

As a former employee of a big discount chain store, I saw this happen when the creator of the business died, his family forgot his dream and focused on making money. I left to go back to college, finish my degree and work in a field I enjoy, not just a means to pay the bills.

I think though, that the idea that young kids aren't interested in wine will change. I have heard some talk about trying it out, the attitude that wine is a snob drink is changing. Young adults who don't want to fit the "yuppie" category, yet also not be seen as hicks, are looking for a way to have some class. They are also worrying about alcoholism, so they see drinking a glass of wine as a way satifying both areas.

Word is getting out about the health benefits, and at the same time, they can enjoy a sense of class without acting like they are better than others.
If here in the beer/whiskey guzzling country area I live you can see a wine store, that seems to have the correct set-up, a good selection, and wine-tasting, then I know that the attitude toward wine drinking is changing.
