Montrachet, a white wine produced by the French vintner Domaine de la Romanee- Conti, features a penetrating yet silky fragrance, a rich and robust fruit -- and a price tag that will knock your socks off.

More remarkably, a united German economy should still expand 3.5% in 1991, predicts Peter Pietsch, an economist at Frankfurt's Commerzbank.
