Related posts on MoIppai]]> I decided to change the “price” section on the drinks reviews (specifically the wine section), as it seemed a bit confusing and to be honest a little pointless having the specific prices in different currencies, etc.

It’s now a much simpler, three level rating system :

  • ￥= cheap
  • ￥￥= mid-range
  • ￥￥￥= expensive

Simple huh?
Obviously prices is relative depending on the country and person, especially with the global economic mess (is it really bottoming out??), but it’s a better system I think.

A mate of mine from England told me once he has nothing in his cellar less than 25quid ($50!), whereas I have nothing in my “cellar” (wine rack of about 9 bottles) above $30. So I’m guessing our ideas of what’s cheap and not are a bit different ;)
Basically my view is :

  • Cheap = ￥500-￥2000 ($5-$20)
  • Mid = ￥2000>　￥5000 ($20-$50)
  • Expensive = >￥5000 (anything over $50)

What do you think? What do you consider to be a mid-range price wine?

Related posts on MoIppai]]> I’ll be writing about any news related to wine, beer, whiskey, or maybe sake (seeing as I’m living in Japan), that I find on the net or newspapers etc. Also, anything I’ve been up to recently…related to drinking of course. 
Wine tastings, sake brewery tours, to name a couple of things I’ve done recently I’ll get around to writing about soon.

So, hope you enjoy, and please sign up to become a reviewer at moippai.com and start reviewing your favourite wines or beers, etc. You can now add wishlists too,  and you can print them out and take them down the off license next time you go.

See you soon, campai! (Cheers in Japanese)
