Who Determines The Price of A Bottle of Wine

[texlady]

Thanks for the replies.

In answer to the questions you posed, the store I mentioned carries wines from many vineyards but not all varieties. I suppose they carry what the public will buy which seems to be merlots, zins, cabernets. Currently, they seem to be featuring Australian wines, especially Yellowtail. They also have a fair selection of what I call "national" or widely distributed wines such as Sutter Home, Berringer, Kendall-Jackson, Gallo, Reunite, and many more, mostly from the West Coast. I recall seeing GB Beaujolais Villages, a couple of Bonny Doon varieties, some from Columbia Crest. I prefer the sweeter wines and that variety seems to be where the selection is lacking. I did find the recommended Schmitt-Sohne QbA riesling for $6.99, Hogue Late Harvest riesling for $7.99, a Texas muscat canelli (Llano Estacado) for $7.99 and the Reunite Lambrusco for $3.99. After looking at prices on some websites, maybe my store is not out of line.

I'll do some comparison shopping when I travel to a nearby city (about 40 miles) next week.
