Abstract

California’s flagship wines have been ascendant: accounting for inflation, prices on the world market for super premium wines have doubled over the past 15 years. Nearly half of the growth occurred within the last two years. A combination of climbing expert scores and surging exports, especially to China, have led to an extended period of demand outstripping supply. These conditions look likely to persist.
