Wine enthusiasts are feeling the pinch these days as their favorite vintage is costing more by the drop. In fact, some are even opting for alternatives to uncorking as surging price tags call for more unconventional approaches to overpriced bottles.
A new survey by Bevinars found that among more than 500 wine drinkers, two-thirds of consumers believe that not only have prices gotten too high, but they are ready to do something about it—other than giving up their glass completely that is. While almost half of the respondents that reported feeling the pinch said that they had reduced their grape consumption at home, the other half said they were opting for cheaper bottles and more affordable boxed wine.
