In fact, I receive more inquiries about these wines than any other Riesling we sell. Despite that, pricing has remained remarkably restrained. Most wines saw either no increase or only a modest bump, which is astonishing considering the growing international demand. I still believe these wines have plenty of room to appreciate in price over the coming years, but \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cu\u003ethankfully they remain one of the greatest values in the wine world.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo put it in perspective, the cost of a single bottle of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eKeller GG or Egon Müller\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is roughly the same as \u003cstrong\u003eseven to ten bottles of Falkenstein\u003c\/strong\u003e.
