Summary/Abstract: The paper uses Pearson correlation coefficients to analyze strength and direction of the interaction between: price of the wine and the vintage, the evaluation made by sommeliers and wine price, price of wine and number of distribution points. Eight wine strains from the region of Bordeaux were analyzed. The strongest association was observed between the price of wine and vintage. The article also presents selected descriptive statistics for the price of wine, the assessment provided by sommeliers and the number of distribution points. On average, wine called Petrus / Pomerol enjoys the highest recognition of sommeliers. Furthermore, estimated econometric models indicate that the average price of the analyzed strains increased by 2.46% a year while the change in the evaluation of wine by one point affects the average change in price by 6.01%.
