NY Times food writers seem to have a big budget. I can't imagine wine (and food) being affordable in London to people like me that don't think a glass of wine should cost more than 5 Euros which is the case in Europe, e.g. Italy, Greece and some in Paris. Some restaurants in Paris have started charging more by the glass (7, 8 or 9 Euros) having discovered a la New York way. I think charging a glass of wine for $20 in some NY establishments is high way robbery. I just spent 10 days in Paris and if my partner wasn't a  tea totaler, we could havre very good bottles of wine for 20-30 Euros in most restaurants instead of $60 a bottle for the cheapest wine in New York.  I suspect London is not far off.
