English term or phrase:
can't command cult-wine prices
Spanish translation:
no logra alcanzar el precio de los vinos de culto
English term
Argentina
command cult-wine prices
"(..) and set out on his own, making complex, ageable Cabernet-based blends under his eponymous label. The wines are unquestionably succesful, but Togni isn't. He makes only a few hundred cases, but can't quite command cult-wine prices."
Mi duda tiene que ver más que nada con la última oración, específicamente con "command cult-wine prices".
Creo que tiene que ver con venderse por los precios de vinos "cult-wine", pero no estoy muy segura; además, no encuentro ninguna correspondencia para "cult-wine"..
¡Gracias!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

no logra venderlos a los precios de las bodegas más prestigiosas (o exclusivas)
un cult wine vendría a ser un vino muy prestigioso pero exclusivo.
