About Today's Bordeaux The $8-$25 price range represent 80% of all Bordeaux and offers the quality and value that appeal to American consumers. However, the mystique and high prices of classed growths (only 5% of total production) has led to a perception that Bordeaux is expensive and difficult to appreciate. The Today's Bordeaux program is designed to communicate the message that Bordeaux is affordable, easy to appreciate and appropriate for all occasions and budgets. Similar programs have been held in Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Korea, Russia and other countries around the world sponsored by the CIVB. Editor Note: Images available upon request |
