Rich cherry fruit flavour with a beaujolais style lushness and accessability, a positive steal at £35.<BR/><BR/>Cerasuolo costs around £8 per bottle. Selling for £35 is 23% cost or 77%GP not my exact idea of value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206779.post-83370046025224743912008-05-20T14:56:00.000+00:002008-05-20T14:56:00.000+00:00Ok fair enough, perhaps I wasnt clear on my origin...Ok fair enough, perhaps I wasnt clear on my original posting. The three wines quoted are on reduced margin because they are too marginalised or unknown to sell at the "appropriate" margin. So they are somewhat better value for money. I also feel that they deliver a lot for their price (retail not marked-up) which means that the quality to value ratio is better than a lot of wines at their price point.grazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353703883421608731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206779.post-401822243070830382008-05-20T13:33:00.000+00:002008-05-20T13:33:00.000+00:00Again all well and good, but to use your own argum...Again all well and good, but to use your own argument, the very wines that you extoll the value aspect of, are exactly the wines that you make the highest margins on!<BR/><BR/>So my question here, is how exactly does that constitute value under $50?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206779.post-66380086155705229622008-05-16T22:37:00.000+00:002008-05-16T22:37:00.000+00:00Im not going to get into the whole tired arguement...Im not going to get into the whole tired arguements about margins.
