The mark-up on wines here is huge.  When I first arrived I was lucky (???) enough to be able to buy a case each of red and white from my agent (who also did boat trips and tours)  I bought a case of 12 for 36 lira so a bottle was 3 lira.  That was 2 years ago and I don't think they would have gone up that much.  Have to admit, though, it was revolting to drink but OK for cooking :)

The tax went up 400% one year I think. Might explain the price.

We always take a box of wine on Holiday with us, saves us looking for wine in the shops when we arrive :-\
