I've heard/seen many statements to the effect that PN is more prone to bottle shock and travel shock than any other varietal. But I've also heard/seen claims that bottle shock and travel shock are wine myths.

Actually, I'd planned to let this lapse years ago but Bob, unaware of my intentions, renewed it. So here it comes, and still I read.

But at thewine trade shows, where they are seriously selling to agents etc, the wines can travel halfway across the globe to be delivered the day before the show starts.

I agree with you and let wines 'rest' after purchasing them. But at thewine trade shows, where they are seriously selling to agents etc, the wines can travel halfway across the globe to be delivered the day before the show starts.
