Because I was poor and not exposed to good wine. Australian wine, as a rule, is slightly above Kangaroo urine in quality. It generally competes with Fresno, not the best.

However, I think that the general suggestion might not be too far wrong — these days wine marketing is as much about price and an "experience" as it is about the contents of the bottle.David Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276520192744208262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1392866426745021699.post-43309656576470863802019-04-08T20:58:46.666+02:002019-04-08T20:58:46.666+02:00Hi David,

Without knowing more about the source of the data (sample size, how conducted, etc.), I'd be very wary about drawing any conclusions about what young American consumers want in wines. A second point is that the numbers you cite from the State of the Wine Industry 2018 report are growth in value from previous year and could be misconstrued as market share.
