Meat-loving Argentines shun beef as inflation bites

Depends how nice the restaurant is. Can range from 40,000 to 100,000 pesos per bottle at nice places. Even Michelin places in BA have nice selections for about 50,000 to 75,000 pesos per bottle.
Correct. I paid 56,000 pesos the other night for a nice bottle of from the Zuccardi Vineyards.
 
Besides the higher end restaurants you can still get good value. This was at La Dorita in Palermo Chico. I went with my girlfriend who wasn't too hungry and her cousin who didn't eat much so it was mostly me eating a Rib Eye. You can see it was 39,500 pesos which was only about $30. Quality was just ok. This is a very reasonable priced place.

We are big fans of La Dorita and also Pescadorita.

Decent food at decent prices.

Wow that isn't bad at all especially with the higher exchange rate. Last year the exchange rate went as low as 1,000 pesos to $1. Much better at 1500.
