Competing with the Biggies for the Best Wine Deal

Keeping pace with the economic crisis, Wall street bonuses are down 60 percent this year. That would, I think, translate into consumers thinking twice about luxury items and real estate... but it will most probably even trickle down to items like expensive wines. On my limited budget, I'm always looking for the next great deal on a reasonably priced wine. But now because of the bailout there might be more of the previously higher end wine consumers in competition with guys like me for the best deals out there... and as a result they might get more difficult to find.
