Most of the in-between stuff never leaves Spain.

>Initial quality tests are promising sir!
>Great! Put it in the good barrels and keep a close eye on it for a few years.
>This likely won't age well, sir.

I still want to understand what this means
I tried urban dictionary but got nothing
There is the local market that caters to locals which serves things @ normal prices
And on the other side there is the industry that caters to turists who pretend to know nutshit about ham & wine.
The best ham is sold for 150€ the full leg & best wines don't go higher than 20€ bottle

Rioja? But I 'ardly know 'er!
I think it's just a particularly variable grape.
