Agreed; I thought of Vino Volo when I saw this thread. I am glad to pay a reasonable price for a good glass of wine there, and wish that more airports would have upscale places like this. But $10-$20 for the undrinkable swill that most airport venues serve, like the one cited by the OP, is unfortunate.

Don't airport shops charge the cover price -- i.e., the same price that everyone else charges -- for magazines??
