Why Is Chardonnay More Expensive?
Chardonnay is often more expensive because it can be a challenging grape to grow and requires specific growing conditions. It also tends to be more labor-intensive during the winemaking process and can require more aging time before it is ready for consumption. Additionally, the popularity of Chardonnay has led to higher demand, which can contribute to increased prices. Finally, some Chardonnays are made in limited quantities or come from prestigious vineyards, which can also drive up the price.
