Default Thinking out loud ...

Hello;
Not daunted by previous spectacular failure in the wine auction business (by
buying a wine I could get cheaper in the shop) I still hang out n the
auction site, placing ill-considered bids, and generally failing to get
anything..
I found a funny function - which lot got the most bids. And that was
curious. First place was 6 bottles of Beaune 1er cru from 1995, current
highest bid EU 59. OK, that I understand. The second was, however, a lot of
3 bottles of Mouton-Cadet 1953, and the current offer is EU 130!
Why is that? Was Mouton-Cadet so much better 50 years ago? Could, really,
seriously, Mouton-Cadet hang around fro more than 50 years?!?! I donīt think
so. So, some guys are fighting to death to aquire 3 bottles of, most likely,
undrinkable wine.

Cheers

Nils Gustaf
