Last week we visited our family that lives near Göteborg for the next 2.5 years. When visiting the system bolaget in Mölnlycke we bought a bottle of 2008 Casillero del Diablo Carmenere which cost us 70 SEK. In Delhaize in Belgium this wine is 6.99€, which is 0,13€ more expensive at the time of checking :-)
About the wine: this is an excellent example of where a commericial wine from a big bodega in Chili, Concha y Toro in this case, can give very good quality for a very reasonable price. This was a full bodied wine with the necessary taninnes and enough sourness to be well balanced, which is quite an achievement considering the Carmenere grape and the fact that wine is only 1 year old (maybe two when considering the fact that Chili is in the other hemisphere)
