Subject: AW: Re: AW: Kabinett Cost More Than Spatlese

Hi Ray,

please have a look here:
www.schloss-johannisberg.de/angebot.htm

All prices you mentioned seems to be quite high for me. But may be
that extra charge is nessecary to sell german wines in other
countrys. By the way: In which country?

Looking only to the price relation between of both wines, the former
relation ($55/$66) seems to be much more logical for me too.
I have no idea why the price for the Spätlese(=Gruenlack) decreased
and the price for the Rotlack(=Kabinett) remained unchanged.

I am quite sure the reason has simply to do with
supply and demand and nothing with the wines itself.

Regards,

Utz
