this link has the views of many, including this one: <blockquote>Quote
<hr>I manage a wine merchant serving wine up to £150 a bottle. I drink stuff that's about £7 or £8, anything above that is just throwing money away. But if people want to throw it in my direction...<hr></blockquote>Would you be buying wine from him?

But I hope that guests coming to visit me would buy wine from him.

At Dean&Deluca the other day we saw a bottle for 88,000 Taiwan dollars. That's about $2800 USD.
Classy like I am, I shriek "Is that a TYPO?!". The clerk, who speaks perfect English, laughs and says no, but she wouldn't pay that much, either.

| guruwil08:42 UTC05 Aug 2007 | I have a great guy I go to, I walk in and tell him how much I want to spend and what sort of event it is for, and he recommends something that fits. He has never ever pointed me in the wrong direction and he can come up with excellent selections for everything from $8-9 bottle right through to as much as you want to spend.
