Australia wimps out in rugby - loses to England - so much for Aussie power
"John Smith" schrieb:
Where else in the world other than Australia can you drink a good red for less than $5 a bottle? Here in Germany they are selling a really drinkable Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile for 1.59 Euro, a good Australian Shiraz/Cabernet for 2.29 and an Australian Shiraz for 3.29. A Bordeaux of comparable quality is not available under 10 Euros. But then: they do not sell Australian, Chilean or South African wines here that can compete with Bordeauxs in the 20 Euro class. I like South African wines too and regard them equal to good Australian or chilean wines, but they are much higher priced here for the same quality.

In my opnion, if a Californian pays more than the "Minimum Wage" ($6.50) for a bottle of wine, he is getting taken. There is plenty of good $4 wine in California. But then you have my blessings to pay upwards of $24 if you think that's necessary. I go by the state fair awards posted on the supermarket shelf. According to this guy http://www.billybubbles.demon.co.uk/. The French pay one euro per litre for decent red wine, in a take your own empty bottles fashion. He buys wine from the coal merchants, who sell straight out of the barrel. My wife selects wine based on the pretty label on the bottle. I scoffed at her approach, until I realized it had some merit. My theory on why her methon works is that a wine maker who creates a stern and traditional label on a bottle, probably creates a stern and traditional wine. However a maker who creates a very pretty label, probably creates a very pretty wine. |
