Those prices aren't bad. I used to buy Bordeaux top growths. For instance, I bought a half case of the 1982 Château Haut-Brion at $55 a bottle in early '85. Then the newly evolving Chinese upper class latched onto Bordeaux wines as status symbols and drove prices through the roof. By the time I was opening my bottles with holiday meals, 20-25 years later, the price had already shot up into the hundreds of dollars each. Today you can get the price down to around $850 a bottle if you buy it by the case; but, a little over $1K each by the bottle. Not for me. I felt a bit crazy for indulging in the $55 bottles at the time. These days, that's nothing for good wines from anywhere.

Price in Pounds per case of 12.
