(CNNMoney) - Think you're spending a lot more for your French wines than you did in 1986? It all depends on which ones. I complain about wine prices. A lot. Maybe I'm just jaded, or spoiled since I've been buying wine for so long, or perhaps my standard of living has simply eroded. Then again, I've grown more mature and understand the actual value of things and how hard I'm willing to work for them like never before.
