As the demand for Profit drives the most industry. The great winemakers turn to the artistry of their product, making wines with intreging flavors and structure.
It is much like the Art market now, no artist wants to re-produce anothers style or image. Every wine should have it's own Identity.
I congratulate all the Top 10 brands on thier success.
