Hello,

first of all sorry to Werner, I got you wrong there.

Of course the people of the winerys are not stupid, but the methods
of sale and the high prices are not acceptable. It is clear, that
every company has to make profit, but I think that the Chateaux loose
their real, faithful clients. For the superrich it is just a trendy
drink, nothing they think about. And they will buy something else,
when the trend is over.

Regards

John
