why vilify mondavi? didn't he bring reasonable wine to the masses?
i'd get on coppola tho, his winery is like a theme park.....
Would not get much for it, its personalized. Its says Keep Collecting Chris. If he just signed his name I'd probably get more.^ You should sell that bottle to pawn stars

I've tasted some of the best wines and I've tasted some of the best beers. Collectible wine is age-worthy, a 30 yr old bottle of wine from a good vintage is extremely valuable...and the taste is like nothing beer could ever come close to. I've had bottles of 1990 Caymus Cabernet and Beaulieu Vineyard Private Reserve that blow away anything a beer maker can produce. IMO wine is worth the $$$ the market is willing to bear, I don't feel the same way about beer.So.. you were a collector of wine? Probably spending way too much for hard to find bottles of aged grape juice? How is that any different?

I have been subjected to hearing how much my FIL knows abou wine forThat doesn't make any sense to me.
By the way, those same 72 dollar 4 packs....going for 200+ now by private sellers. Something is worth as much as someone is willing to pay. That's really not something you can argue.
I think you're just an uptight wine snob.

It must be a lack of knowledge. These craft beers do age and greatly increase with value as they age.
Exampe, Goose Island Bourbon County Brand stout goes for over 100 a bottle from some of the early releases.
Craft beer is the new wine.
some beers, like some wines age well. those inexpensive ones (beer or wine) will taste worse next year....they are 'drink now'.
remember AB and SABM are putting 'born on' dates on their beer, so you get it fresh....
As @1speed notes, the monks have been doing it right for a long time, and they received a premium price. with better marketing, they
might raise demand/price. seems like it has been stable for a long time.
a clean, fresh pilsner in the summer. or an unfiltered wheat hinting of clove and banana, although none was added. these prices are steady.
Just took a quick look, and europe isn't in the middle of this Hop-over-the-Top rage... interesting.
so from my perspective, there is a willingness to invest in both wine/beer. they are fun to collect and share, especially if unique. beers don't get
old around here, except the anchor xmas. usually have a magnum from last year. that reminds me...
compare this to tickets to a concert/show... it is an experience. maybe it is the same if seeing them in philly and nyc, but it is different.
does that make any sense?
