Forget watching the Stock Market – Buying Wine is More Fun!
This might be a great time to try some of those cult wines that have been inaccessible for most of us regular folks.
As reported by Wine Business Monthly – Cult Wines at Mass Market Prices, it seems the economy might do something good for us wine lovers after all, i.e., make some of those cult wines both more available and [somewhat] more affordable.
There are a couple that are classified as cult wines that I would really like to try but even when I save up to afford them, usually for a special occasion, I usually can’t find them, or they are on a restaurant wine list, priced way too high.
Not only are these wines usually priced too high for my budget, but also top restaurants and collectors buy most of it. They have the inside track and the budgets to get these wines and then they mark them up so high that they are usually out of reach. Come on… how many of us can pay thousands of dollars for one bottle of wine? And even if we could would it be prudent to do so?
I, like many wine lovers, are always on the search to find new wines that are cult quality but that haven’t been discovered yet. So I can enjoy cult quality until they are “discovered” and their prices go up so high I have to find a new one. This just may be the opportunity we have been waiting for and certainly a silver lining to the cloud of financial uncertainty we are all living through.
So what should we do during this recession? I say BUY WINE NOT STOCKS! At least we can have a few moments of joy as we try to recover from this terrible down turn.
