WSJ Wine Article

The Wall Street Journal had a great article,Snooty? Not Today's Wine Drinkers, on January 20th.

The report stated:
The economic downturn was toughest for the U.S. wineries that sell wines for $20 a bottle and up.


Industry-wide, though, restaurants are selling more wines by the glass and have cut some bottle prices on their wine lists.


American wine consumers are now talking more like the French wine lovers I worked with back in the 1980s at Sodexo. People are comparing excellent tasting wines which sell at a decent price point. The consumer wants great taste and great value.
