The problem is mainly price. Not so terribly long ago in the United States you could get a bottle of good wine for under $10. In Italy (where I now live) today you can get a bottle of very good wine for 5 euros or less (if you go directly to a wine cooperative with a demijohn and fill up directly from the tank that same bottle of very good wine will cost you less around 2 euros-- or $2,20!). The U.S. wine industry has got complacent and greedy. I can only hope that their dwindling market will force them to sell their product at a much more reasonable price.
