Philip - yes, a minor commentary on the dollar's weakness but more of one on escalation in wine prices across the board. An entry-level Napa cab is like $50 these days... Vinho verde for all! (in a box) Good ones!

All the wines are European so i assumed it was a commentary on exchange rates I wasnt sure if its a commentary on exchange rates, inflation, or on real purchasing power.

Who is really going to pay $30 for something like a vinho verde or other innocuous quaffer. I can’t but think that the seemingly endless upward trend has to even out at some point.

I would like to guess at some small rebound in the dollar which could help. Farther down the line I wonder about entirely new wine regions to supply the growing demand of the East. Yet even a snap-back will not bring the Leoville back into range, nor the Lynch (though I suspect other fifth growths are perhaps in this range) For me though, for now, 30 buys lesser burgundy, though perhaps not after tax. Okay, how about lesser Rhone, still well within that range. Frightening, and hard to see where it ends, as is evidenced by the guesses above.
