Sören Nylund keeps us up-to-date on what is going on locally, focusing on exciting objects of interest that go under the gavel at the Selected Wines and Spirits Auction that begins next week. We tag along for wine tastings in California, enjoy Susanne’s reflections over Chile’s Old Fine Wines, while Ursulla gives us a Taste of Tuscany. Christopher recounts stories of some of the wildest wines he has tasted, and Sofie gets more in-depth with Zinfandel. Wine Spectator has made a cost-analysis for Fine Wines that have received over 90 points in their valuation, and where the average USD price lands based on land of origin. The results are in: the average price for a French wine that received 90 points is about $106 per bottle, while an equally high-scoring Italian bottle earns about $75. A 90-pointer from California averages $65, a Chilean $53, and one from South Africa $40. Definitely interesting reading! Assuredly, the French wines con- tinue to keep the global prices higher. Our WebauctionSpecial section reports on what is happening at large internation- al auctions. Good luck and invest wisely!
