There is an upside

From the BBC:

Prices of some of the world's most revered wines are falling sharply...he price of the 2005 vintage of Bordeaux's famous Chateau Lafite Rothschild has dropped 25% since the summer.

Remember, folks, only buy the best vintages. '82 and '85 are great claret years. My view is that '86 has been consistently over-valued so I tend to ignore it, leaving just those two for current drinking. The '89 and '90s will be ready soon. The best '95s and '96s will probably need ten years. Goodness only knows when the 2000s will be ready.
