They have been up and running for about a week on the parker site......
A bit of a sketchy idea I think...like he hasn't already got enough influence already

Not sure how, or if, this will affect pricing. Interesting though. Sad pack of sheep those Sepos.

They all suffer dreadfully from insecurity - right up to the point of sale.

They can't make a decision on their own on which wine to buy, but they'll quite happily bomb the sh!t out of somebody else's country without a second thought.

Whilst I agree with these sentiments and in many cases they are true, like all generalities there are a large number of exceptions, like the wise seppos who read this forum for example. :wink:
