As the value of Euro rises, so does the price of one Euro against Dollar. Let us say that the value of one euro increases from $1.20 to $1.50, it would raise the cost of a French wine that costs 4 € from $4.80 to $6.00.
Since there is no change in the value of dollar, the cost of a glass of California wine will stay the same.
