Didn’t see much of any wine in stores or restaurants. After not having any wine, we stumbled in to an Italian restaurant.
Needless to say, we walked out after seeing a KJ wine on the list for W$79,000. At the hotel we stayed at, the bar had
Sassicaia for W$600,000 and a simple red wine for W$100,000.
Am I missing something or does Korea not have a wine culture?
They have wine restaurants but I dont think it’s that big and certainly nowhere near demand for soju and beer. Also wines are much more expensive in Korea. Might be import tax? Like buying a foreign car costs 2x-3x in Korea.
If you want I can ask friends for wine restaurant recommendations.
