Full article at: I remember going to a grocery store specializing in Italian products and seeing several shelves of different brands of balsamic vinegar, at a large range of prizes.
There was a restaurant I used to go to that served bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The waiter would pour olive oil in a saucer, then pour the vinegar on top of it. Then you would dip the warm bread into the mixture. Delicious!
I think I have one small bottle at home, that I possibly never even opened. It was certainly not one of the most expensive ones, aged for 25 years.

I once attended a Balsamic vinegar "tasting." (I was producing a ratio talk-show about cooking.) So, I guess that I've tasted the "real thing."
According to the article, 100 MLs of the real thing, can run around 125 Euros. I had to look at the conversion from metric, and it looks to be about 1/4 cup. One bottle that i recall, probably held more than that, but less than a cup. It was $ 150.00. I didn't buy one.
The bottle that I have now is 17 oz. ... one ml more than a pint. it doesn't have the price on it, now, but I'd guess I didn't spend much over $10, and it's lasted a long time. It's good enough for my needs.
