The cost of wine

On this episode of The Cost of Everything, we take a closer look at the wine industry, the emerging wine markets, and the true costs for producers compared to the price tag at the wine store. Host Christy Ai spoke with wine award winner Carmen Stevens from Carmen Stevens Wines about the procedures for producing excellent quality wine, especially in South Africa, how politics and sanctions play a role in the import and export of wine, and how countries like China, which traditionally have not consumed wine, have become big wine importers.
