    a) the demand curve for Merlot has shifted to the right faster than the supply curve has shifted to the right

    Explanation:

    As the income of consumers have increased that means that the buying capacity has increased, which contributes to increase in demand of the product.

    Further the raw material required to manufacture the product now cost less, accordingly the supply will also be increased.

    But the supply would only increase if the producers realize that the demand has increased.

    Accordingly, demand shall increase faster than the increase in supply.
