To be called fine wine, a bottle must be better than say 90% of all other wines. So fine wines are also quite rare, and therefore expensive. What makes a wine rare is therefore the balance between a level of production and demand. The best Grand Crus of Burgundy though, are only made by the thousands.12 Feb 2020
