Let's travel in rarefied air for our Friday wine truc and visit Château Lafite, the crown jewel in the kingdom of Domaines Barons de Rothschild, which includes vineyards in Bordeaux, Entre-Deux-Mers, Portugal, Chile, and Argentina (The Telegraph UK). The concern produces over 12-million bottles a year. Just to confuse you, and to prove life isn't fair, another branch of the Rothschild family owns Château Mouton Rothschild and several other labels. In spite of the proximity and overlap, there is no rivalry as such between the two factions; one senses that in this world, competition is beneath consideration, as there's enough money to go around for everyone, isn't there?
