Why are the wines of Bordeaux France so expensive.?
Answers:
Because we wonderful americans put high prices tags on our imports. HIGH price tags. We have them tagged and charged before they leave the docks and land in our country. Bordeaux is a very rich strong land, good dirt, good grape crop, good wine by families who have been in the business of making wine for centuries.
In europe the wine is much miuch much cheaper, you buy a hundred bottles for 1000$ and keep them for ten fifteen years or more and boom, you have a wine celler. every year the wine we pay 180$ a bottle goes for thirty fouty overseas. But then Europe allows trade with most countries and dosen't care if the peasants in romania cana afford to live or the south american coffee grower got paid for his crop, or if children in china are sewing by hand until they go blind. The price tag for ethics in our country and our dealings grows and grows.
