Bordeaux 2000 sold en primeur when the dollar was stronger? A wine offered
en primeur at a (relatively) high prive in Francs here in France, was
offered at almost that price in dollars in the US to collectors. Don't tell
me that a hike of 7 times is due to anything other than greed on the part of
monopolies.
