That's a great breakdown and very welcome information. I guess what frustrates me is that decent affordable wines, things like a half decent Vinho Verde, tend to be passed over.... but I guess that if you're selling to what is domestically a somewhat luxury market the profit margins do not therein lie... or am I mistaken in thinking this?
