>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
