John Mariani, a writer for Bloomberg.com, provides his ten predictions for wine in 2010, in a piece titled “For Wine in 2010 Expect Price Drops, Screwtops, Thirsty Chinese“.  Among the predictions: continued price drops for wine across the board; more on-line wine buying at sites such as wine-searcher.com and vinfolio.com and an increase in the popularity in wines costing $10 or less per bottle. Ominously, for this author, he also predicts an increase in wine blogging and cautions that readers should be wary of these bloggers’ recommendations.
