When I first moved to Australia I noticed 2 things about the wine: there was a lot to choose from, and it costs twice as much (if not more) than the exact same Australian wine brands I’d bought back in NY. The selection is mostly a great variety from Australian and New Zealand vineyards, and the price is largely due to taxes. But thankfully, because of a glut in production, there was good wine to be found at a more reasonable price in cleanskins .But now it looks like the days of the $7 bottle of wine are drying up.
