Wine Industry ConsolidaSHON

This chart is interesting to me for several reasons. The name is clever first of all, and it surprised me that 60% of California wines sold in 2004 cost less than $7/bottle. That generalization was based on observing that 20% + 20% = 40% of wines sold cost $7 or more, but the math didn't add up...


After further review, percentages in the Units column add up to 108% - which seems a little high to me. Even if all 5 numbers had been rounded up, the total should not have exceeded 105 - or am I dumb? At any rate, the article (from recently re-freebied) CFO.com is worth a read if globalization/the wine industry are of any interest to you.

A financial take on Mondovino, if you will...

• There appears to be an overlap in the jug wine/extreme value price ranges. Let's go with that..otherwise this will bother me forever.

• I take that back. Even if all jug wines are extreme value wines, the number is still high. I give up.

• As a self-proclaimed "numbers geek", this truly is disturbing.
