The sky's the limit
Article Abstract:
Revenues of the top ten wine auctions in the US grew by 61% in 1995 from 1992, totaling $5,013,775. The most profitable auction was the Napa Valley Wine Auction, which garnered total bids of $1.8 mil. Possible reasons for this growth are related charity events and the popularity of travel lots.
