TN: Domain Drouhin Lauren It is a nice wine. A premium offering. It is good PQR if you compare to its clbutt within Oregon Pinot. Why so high...#1-limited qty, #2-marketing 3-3 levels of distrubutors, small state taxes....likely---cause winery sets price. I have had better burgundy at less price. Go figure. Tom AZ not evening Hi there, A question that has always perplexed me. I just went to Google and typed Domaine Drouhin Laurene 2000 and searched. The first hit was from a restaurant and the second from someone likey to be a states-side wine merchant. He was selling this bottle for 50 USD (plus shipping). That is approximately 38 EUR at a time when Euro, by general consensus, is quite strong vis-à-vis the USD. Just a couple of years back, 50 USD would have been 50 EUR and a further few years back more like 60. I just checked on the website of a wine merchant in my neighbourhood and he had this offer: Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru AOC, Les Chaignots - Louis Jadot 1999 for 47 EUR. Now why the American wine is quite expensive in money terms. Is it really a good value at that price? Or is it because of taxation and-or customer tastes & preferences that the prices have been driven so high? Cheers
