Chapter 427 – Cinderella
Wine.
The process by which prices are set is more or less the same as stocks.
『Chateau Talbot 2010』
『Chateau Talbot 2017』
Research the company before buying its stock.
The more you know about wine, the more you see.
“What do you think is the difference between these two?”
“Well… The label? It’s exactly the same.”
On the surface, it’s just the same.
You might be thinking what the heck is bothering about it.
‘It’s no different from buying Ohsung Electronics now and 10 years ago.’
The same goes for wine.
Even the same wine tastes different depending on the vintage.
“Oh vintage! I’ve heard of it. You mean 2017 is a bad year?”
“No.”
“?”
“That’s the fun thing about wine.”
Common sense.
Now people know it too.
But if you can invest that much.
‘There must have been no one who made money with stocks.’
The world of wine is similar.
In fact, the futures market that predicts the price is being traded in the scale of hundreds of trillions.
“Can I have two 2017s too?”
“Are you following this?”
“I know it’s an unreasonable request…”
“Ah, I’ll pick it up. I was also frustrated after watching the broadcast.”
The owner of the wine bar.
Since I know him, he opens the bottle.
No, it would have been frustrating from the boss’s point of view.
Every bit~
If you are a wine drinker, you have no choice but to do it.
Chateau Talbot is a typical Bordeaux wine.
“Huh? This…”
“How is it?”
“The taste is a little different. I guess it’s hard to drink.”
It is conveyed only by the eyes.
It’s tasteless.
It is probably because it is a broadcast that it cannot be criticized further.
Gulp!
I savor it.
The ink-like thick liquid slowly dissolves in your mouth.
What you can feel is plum and cherry, and leather and tannins.
Originally, it should be richer and more delicate.
Immature, this young Bordeaux is not living up to its potential.
“Doesn’t it feel like an unripe fruit?”
“I think that’s what I heard.”
“It’s thick like dark chocolate.”
“Ah!”
It is often described as being closed.
Wine is an alcoholic drink like a living creature, and it’s not a very contextless story.
‘It’s like eating fruits after they’ve matured.’
Eating a melon by itself is not tasty.
I bought a melon with this money.
But what if you let it ripen slowly in a cool place?
Luxurious sweetness dances in your mouth.
The same thing happens with wine.
Gulp!
Chateau Talbot’s 2010 vintage.
The plums I had only envied were deliciously young.
Dark chocolate blossoms with notes of black cherry and leather.
“Since you explain it like that, I think I can distinguish myself.”
“I have a feeling Bordeaux wines aren’t friendly.”
It takes at least 5 years to become edible.
The recommended drinking period is a long time, on average, 15 years.
‘Because I opened it in less than a year.’
Chateau Talbo is aged in oak barrels for about two years.
In other words, it is a green product that was released in 2019, last year.
It’s bound to be tasteless.
Freshly picked green melons, mangoes, and bananas are sour and stinky, making it difficult to eat.
“Besides, the weather was bad in Bordeaux that year. Vintage not worth buying.”
“For that reason, if you sell cheap, you should sweep it up.”
“What are you talking about?”
The boss must have been frustrated.
Even if you’re like me, if you say it’s not delicious after eating a green banana, I want to try eating a yellow banana.
‘Not only that.’
Beyond that, there are several factors.
2017.
A frost hit the Bordeaux region of France, and many farmhouses were damaged.
“So the taste was… Not so good?”
“Because it’s not.”
“Yes?”
If it was in the past, it would be classified as ‘obscenity’.
It is to remember that the taste of wine was ruined.
‘But it’s the 21st century now.’
Grape farms have developed tremendously.
Minimize damage through weather forecasting and farm management.
What is lacking is supplemented with brewing technology.
When the harvest of Merlot was not good, the blending ratio was changed.
“It has more Cabernet Sauvignon varieties.”
“Then what will happen?”
“Because Cabernet Sauvignon is more specialized for long-term aging than Merlot.”
It doesn’t taste good when eaten right away.
It is inevitable that Seoyeon found the Chateau Talbot 2017 vintage tasteless.
‘Let’s use an abstract expression used in wine tasting.’
Infanticide.
I killed a guy who wasn’t even grown up.
It wasn’t the right time to eat yet.
“Is it still expensive?”
“Because the possibility of future deliciousness is included in the current price.”
“Aha…”
It’s like a growth stock.
There is no exaggeration to say that wine and stocks are similar.
‘Especially those with brands like this.’
Chateau daughter.
This is a 4th grade wine from the Medoc region of Bordeaux.
It is a classification system created before the 20th century.
At this point, it is rated at 3 or higher.
It means a great wine that inherits tradition and history.
“The reliability of the brand is included in the price.”
“Ah…, Then there must be some bubbles in the price.”
“Would you like to try the non-bubble one?”
“Yes! I want to try drinking”
Unknowingly included in the price.
Luxury goods are an object of envy and at the same time a symbol of trust.
‘If there is one difference.’
Wine is to drink
It’s not like buying clothes or bags just to show off to someone.
Percussion!
Open the menu board.
Things written in English.
Just looking at it makes my head dizzy.

It’s worth putting up with that dizziness.
There is a treasure hidden in this.
Like undervalued stocks.
“Two glasses of Angelica Zapata Malbec, please.
“Know.”
Wine is not only a French specialty.
It is cultivated in many countries around the world.
‘The so-called old world, the new world.’
New world.
Represented by the United States
This is a new wine-growing region.
It was introduced as a good cost-effective area even for the water drop of God.
That too is a thing of the past.
Every bit~
Considering the year of publication, it is natural.
At this point, it’s as premium as the old world.
“It’s Argentinian wine.”
“Argentina? I saw it on the news recently…”
“It’s a country going through an economic crisis.”
Recently, Australia, South America and Africa are strong.
Wines from South America are particularly noteworthy.
‘The economy is difficult.’
Labor cost is cheap.
Thirsty for dollars
Good wine is exported at a low price.
It is also a good investment opportunity.
Let’s take a sip of Angelica Zapata Malbec.
Gulp!
Incomparably bold
If Château Talbo was a red ripe plum, this is a dark western plum.
The condensed flesh bursts with flavor.
After that, the complex taste of cacao and rose hits the tongue.
“It’s delicious! It’s too thick, so I won’t be able to eat much, but…”
“What do you think the price will be?”
“Well? I said there’s no foam, so one… Half?”
It never lags behind Chateau Talbot.
Even on Vivino, an app often used for wine evaluation.
‘It’s far ahead with 4.6 points out of 5.’
Of course, this is the opinion of the general public.
You can enjoy it immediately after picking it, and give it a generous score for its strong taste.
There is also controversy over manipulation.
It was caught that the gifters intervened to raise the price of American wine.
Gulp!
Even considering that, it’s great.
Angelica Zapata Malbec is comparable to Chateau Talbot, which costs 100,000 won.
“It’s only 20,000 won.”
“20,000 won?! It’s cheap enough that I want to buy it too…”
“Yes?”
Local prices are very cheap.
Argentina’s economic conditions make miraculous prices possible.
‘Though it’s in the range of 30,000 to 40,000 won in Korea.’
Korea’s liquor tax, shipping cost, etc.
It’s not like stock trading, so there’s a lot to be concerned about.
Still, it’s true that it’s an attractive price.
Even Seoyeon, who doesn’t know much about wine, wants to buy it.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to buy it in advance and sell it when the price goes up?”
“Oh… Do you really think you can do that?”
“Because that’s what I do.”
“?!”
Wine.
It is a typical business drink.
Prices vary according to taste.
What if the taste could be converted into a price?
Many winemakers see it as a business opportunity.
‘In reality, it’s much more complicated and it goes through an esoteric process.’
Advances in agricultural technology.
The impact a brand creates.
Underdeveloped countries are subject to consideration even for politics and security.
It is not easy, such as having to bet on currency hedging as a necessity.
It’s not an area that ordinary people can do.
“There are assets in the world that are undervalued like this. I make money by identifying them and investing in them first.”
“So that’s your job? Investor.”
“Yes.”
The gist of what I’m saying.
Even Samcheok would have understood.
Investing in stocks as a profession.
‘If only I could explain it like this.’
It also resonates well with viewers.
No, not even rationally, but emotionally.
Seoyeon’s face turns red.
It’s probably not because of the alcohol.
Gulp!
You don’t have to force yourself to speak.
Drink wine.
With the snacks that came with it.
The Emmental cheese wrapped in raw ham is chewy.
Its deep flavor is not inferior to Malbec wine with a strong taste.
“You know wine well…”
“Before investing, I honestly have a hobby.”
“Ah.”
“Because it’s nice to get to know such a blunt woman.”
The stage of verbal persuasion has passed.
Imagination unfolds in the mind of the listener.
‘Even if you poop, it’s time to clap.’
A deep purple liquid.
Slowly rotate the glass filled with wine.
With him, the hidden incense rises.
You don’t have to wait years like Château Talbot.
But drinking good wine over time is a different experience.
“It’s like playing chess with a woman who doesn’t talk much. I can’t wait until after the chess game is over.”
“The reason you said you were blunt…”
“Yes, this wine will taste much better from now on.”
Capturing it simply
