So far Having a Hard Time Finding Good Values in Italy
| In a lot of the grocery stores and wine shops that I have been visiting, I’m finding the prices almost to be the same as I’m finding them in the United States (pre-tariffs). Granted i’ve mainly searched duty-free, grocery stores in Venice, and small stores in Rome. Today I was in Eataly (a higher priced store), and while there were a few things that were on sale that made it cheaper than the United States, I was shocked to see that all of the high-end wines that I looked at were not price competitively even though I am in their country of origin and looking at these prices before any import taxes and fees are assigned. I knew it was more of a pipe dream, but I was hoping to pick up some bottles of Tignanello at 1/3 off a US seller. My last hope of finding a “score” will be Sorrento, any advice? [link] [comments] |
