Default Grappa: why so expensive?

Please let's go back to the original question,
which was
( Why is Grappa so Expensive when it is made from lefovers ? )
I went to the local wine shop and asked for a bottle of Grappa, Five kinds,
Lowest price $37.00 Highest $ 78.00
I did not buy any because I travel to Italy and buy it there, but there was
one there (Zonin) for over $ 40.00 same bottle in Italy I paid 24,000 lire =
less than $12.00.

So, why does it cost so much here,

You can get STOCK brandy distilled in Italy for less than J Bavet

Yes of course I know that only some brandy is Cognac - did I say

I
am delighted that you enjoy various brandies - me too - but when you

said
that you enjoy brandy and Cognac it seemed to indicate that you were

unaware
that Cognac is brandy. Would you way that you enjoy wine and Burgundy?
Whiskey and scotch? Cheese and cheddar? I think I have made my point.


You have made you point? No. You have made a pedantic fool of yourself.
