You still don't have to pay silly money for great wine
Once a year, we’re allowed to break the $25 barrier and take a look at wines that sell at premium prices. I don’t mean $250 – there’s just no need to go much over $50 for ‘premium wines’. Even above $25, the law of diminishing returns is more than evident. These wines make good presents for discerning drinkers.
