The closest restaurant to me that I know has BP (Black Cow, Launceston) charge $75/glass via Coravin or $350/bottle.

I didn’t mean to be so grim. But gee auction house reserves frustrating when we all know there’s oceans full of fine wine and a generation coming through who aren’t so thirsty!
United Airlines starts flying direct SFO to ADL in November. Rich Californian’s will love our Basket Press. Cheap bargain compared to their’s!
not sure, Jamie. Californian shiraz is a different style to ours, but it is very, very good in many cases. Failla, for example, is a syrah I'd drink in preference to the vast majority of our stuff, and it is sub-$100 to buy, even here in rip-off land.

Having so much BP it’s not something I’m going to buy at the Pub but yep, noting BP consistently for mid-100’s at at a number of locals.
South Aussies need to wake up. You may have to do a paper round or drive an uber for extra pennies. Flipping wine will only get you fly-buys.
Not sure what you're on about here...I only use auction houses to buy, my last sale was 25+ years ago.
Cheers Craig

I’m in five different US cities in the next few weeks so I’ll try a bottle. I really don’t enjoy buying wine in the UsA. Too expensive and state taxes or tips make it far more expensive drinking than elsewhere.
