The price of wine often doesn't correlate with its quality, at least very 
linearly. When I was in Spain, a local wine "expert" could easily find 
good wine and the price was 4..10 euros per bottle. It's the same thing 
in Greece or Bulgaria or other cheaper wine-producing countries. The 
cheapest wine is actually cheaper than bottled water.

In more expensive countries the same quality costs 5..20 times as much.
