-when wine is young it lacks character
which makes it easy to sell en masse
on supermarket shelves. Like youth
it is oversold and rather raw on the palate.
As wine matures it gains character,
which makes it harder to sell.
This is why it gets auctioned off,
to be sold cheap in seconds shops
where the curious buy it in quantity
and enjoy the unpredictability of choice.
Like being elderly it is surplus
to major suppliers and manufacturers.
