John,
slightly less obscure now. In the UK, the average bottle of South African wine sells for under GBP 3.50/bottle, Stormhoek sells for 5.99 to 6.99. Stormhoek IS premium. It’s just that South African’s haven’t learned to charge like the folks from Napa.… yet.:)

Extending the theme a bit, this story was up on memeorandum. So someone like me, interested in a cutting edge blog-ware app, learned about the hot new wine making it’s way around the geek-blogosphere party circuit. Dude, that is so web 2.0!

Interesting to note how an “obscure” south african wine is now referred to as a “premium” wine on an influential bloggers site. There’s lots of specious hand-wringing going on at the moment about whether the net should be fact-checked etc, but in the real world you can’t argue with the way this has shifted the Stormhoek image and the fact that this repositioning in old marketing parlance will be broadcast far and wide online.

So how do us non-geek-dinner-attending U.S. residents get our hands on some of that Stormhoek-ey goodness?

It was a great party. My one regret is that people drank all the red. I was supposed to get a third of whatever was left over. The Strmhoek is really great stuff, Hugh. Thanks for you role in putting this celebration over the top.
