Consumer Wine Report News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

In recent weeks, a number of stories with economic angles have come my way that made me stop and think about just how much money affects the world of wine. We all know that wine is a business but occasionally we lose sight of the dollars and focus on the scents. (Sorry.) But some figures have given me cause to pause and consider other aspects of wine. $600,000, $108, and $13.99. Each number, and their stories, represent a different way of looking at wine as a commodity.

DTC prices have jumped by such an extent in Napa that consumers are forking out in excess of $100 per bottle, according to a report.

The price jumped $17 from last year, and tasting fees have shot through the roof as well.
