I was just speaking with someone this past weekend and feeling nostalgic for my trips to eastern Europe (especially Romania) in the mid-1990s. Hotels that were posh by Romanian standards of the time (and quite acceptable for me) were very inexpensive and food was cheap (but sometimes limited to pork). However, I especially remember the price of Romanian (and even Hungarian) wine to be quite remarkable. These days, those bargains are gone, but I am happy that I spent as much time in those countries as I did when they were travel bargains.
