✔ 最佳答案

value for money的意思是：value在這裏是等值，等價物；這標題可譯：錢用得其所？錢用得化算？或物有所值？（估這標題有些少帶反問）
你可參考yahoo字典，value的第三個解釋：
3. 等值;等價物[U]
This car is good value for your money.
這輛汽車你買得很合算。
wine:是指葡萄酒（在這裏是指紅酒）
duty是指tax charged on certain goods，即對某些貨物所徵收的稅
tax duty(在這裏是指：徵收稅）
Brew是用．．釀酒的意思；Brewer酒的製造家（譯：酒商）
全文是：物有所值？
香港酒業在屈服於壓力下，將紅酒、啤酒，並其他酒類飲品減價。這行動是緊隨著最近消費者委員會的報告，該報告指出消費者並未能從酒類飲品減稅後得益。在財政司唐英年在辯論中發言，並催促業界儘快將價格調低數小時後，酒商公佈將計劃於今天下午修訂價格。
