...consumers' tastes turn toward the much cheaper wines of the New World. Let the free market play its role. Rudolf Wicki Hinwil, Switzerland One can spend up to €500 on a bottle of what I'm sure would be a very fine vintage of Château Lafite-Rothschild, but I won't.

These makers have no interest in being associated--even remotely--with down-market plonk. Why would they when Château Cheval Blanc and Château Lafite-Rothschild, for example, are currently selling their 2005 vintage for about $700 a bottle? But producers in the middle aren't happy.
