Moderate Burgundy price hikes at Hospice sale
Article Abstract:
Bids at the 1998 Hospices de Beaune charity auction in Beaune, France reflected a 12% increase from prices of the year before. This follows a 46% price hike from the last year. Buyers are paying more for the 1997 and 1998 vintages than for the superior 1996 vintage. Prices paid at this auction are often a good indicator of future consumer prices.
