Like in any booming market, there is money to be made in offering mediocre

product at inflated prices. But once the boom ends, the strong will survive. The good bottles at each price point are likely to stay strong and the distilleries that threw something out there just to ride the wave are going to die.

UTPr0sim • 01/13/25 04:43 PM ET
I wouldn't buy 1 at that price
