You should really blame banking system for that.

$100, not even close. WAY less. Ask me. This is EU to EU state to state. Anyone heard of SEPA? No? Well there's your reason for misinformation for inside EU economic zone wire transfers. If your banks are charging you this much for Inside EU wires then god bless you for staying with them.
I proposed this solution before:
You open an account in US, in EU, in ASIA. The you wire the total batch sum from your main bank to each of the "sub-accounts" you have opened on each continent. Then you do "inside continent" wires, which cost WAY less than doing each from your main bank.
The bigger the sum, the smaller the % they take away from your batch sum wire to other "sub-accounts".
It's all up to the abilities of the sponsor, their knowledge, the interest to adapt, etc...
When approached to some sponsors asking them how about adding checks to their payout options, quite a few never heard of webmasterchecks (this has been a very good choice until the DA went to vacation and still hasn't come back) or chexx inc. WTF? Seriously WTF?! And at the time there was also Partner Payments (went tits up after). Seriously, if these sponsors didn't know about the basic options available to them, how would they ever be able to open a few more accounts worldwide. Especially with porn behind the operation. This is a silly problem, but if you ask me, only the best programs will be able to accommodate what I propose. The rest are just not capable.
