Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
According to a recent Los Angeles Times story, sommeliers are reporting a downshift in consumers' "sweet spot" -- i.e., the price range where they feel most comfortable spending. Wine's sweet spot (in LA, anyway) used to be around $80 a bottle; now it's closer to $50-60.We all know that because of restaurant markups, it's hard to get anything even drinkable for under $20 (consider that a $20 restaurant wine is likely $7 to $8 at retail). If you're like me and consider wine a nonnegotiable part of the dining experience, how much are you willing to pay? Vote in the poll below.
