It's amazing this took so long to happen. It looks like drinking Burgundy will become an even rarer pleasure.Burgundy wine prices hiked in U.S. due weak dollar | Markets | Markets News | Reuters

I'm also surprised it took so long. Italian wines started to go up last November, and so far we haven't seen much of a French increase (of course, I can only speak to what we order -- I'm sure there have been price increases). Well, I can't say I didn't expect it.

Carol - It has been amazing how French wine prices have held over last few years. In my opinion French wines have been the best values around (excluding top Burgundy and Bordeaux) for some time. I guess those days are coming to a close. Can't blame the producers though, they've cut their profits for years to keep prices low.

Craig, I saw this same story and blogged on it myself. See the graph of the Euro/$ exchange rate over time and some broader implications. http://www.vinfolio.com/thewinecollector/2008/03/the-weak-dollars-impact-on-fin-1.jsp

Well considering the dollar has gone down for so long let me be the first to predict it will now rise!
