I take it this wine is not included in CFK's basket for working out the annual inflation rate of around 9%.
Ive said this before... and it seems like you are a numbers person so you will understand the point I will make. The price you paid in US$ 10 years ago for this wine was an accident... it was at a time where all the prices in the Argentine Economy were out of whack. That price is not a reasonable price point, so any comparison to it lack any real relevance.
