In Italy, as in much of europe, wine isn't considered a luxury but a staple. Restaurant wine prices reflect that. In American restaurants, too often alcohol is used as a profit center.
I wonder how Italian restaurants make enough to survive. Tables are rarely turned (at least in smaller towns) prices are reasonable and the staff is made up of lifers.

There are still very expensive wines to be sure, but the cost of land has already been taken care of decades or centuries ago...that probably helps keep costs down too.
