Greetings Ray,

This topic surfaces from time to time in this forum. My own feeling is
that there are just enough wine lovers with a well-developed sense of
taste that there will always be at least a few "craft" winemakers in
business. At least, I HOPE that's true!
On the other hand, the "volume" producers will always have a ready
market for beginners and those with a tight budget (sometimes that
includes me).
