Do you think $18 is a bit much for a bottle of red wine?


It’s normally $24.99, really good cabarnet. I’m having a hard time finding a good alternative.

I think $15-$20 is pretty average, but I'm not a wine expert

reply

Yeah

In the summer I'll buy a decent chardonnay and pour it over a ton of ice with a bit of plain seltzer...good deck/yard drink on a lazy day

A reasonable, tasty mag is about 20 bucks

reply

Yeah not too bad

reply

If you like it then that's not too much. I'm not a wine guy. Gives me a headache. I do enjoy a good mimosa though.

reply

No, especially if it’s one you like.

Cheers to that

So did you buy it???? Let us know how it was.

I don't drink a lot of Cabs - I like Old Vine Zins and enjoy Gnarly Head for around $10 - $12. Have you ever tried that?

We have wine with dinner almost every night so I try a lot of wines that are $10 and under. Some are surprisingly good. I save the more expensive stuff for parties or special occasions. I don't think I've ever paid more than $30 for a bottle of wine but I did go to a sales meeting once where one of the guys ordered a $300 bottle of something. It was the worst tasting stuff I ever had.

Not really. I once spent $220 for a bottle of Dom Perignon. But it was a bargain, cause they usually go for $300 plus.
Not bragging here, just providing perspective. BTW, it was excellent!

My favourite champers is Pomeroy because I can only manage a really dry tipple.

reply


Never heard of it, but I'm sure it's excellent if you like it.

Cheers. TBH, if I try drinking anything sweet (like Veuve Clicquot) I get instant heartburn.

reply


I can't stand sweet. I love dry wines.

reply

Me too - Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. I don't like to drink red because it stains your teeth.

reply


The only wines I really like are Cabarnet Sauvignon and Champagne.

I guess it depends on context.
Here are five of the most expensive bottles of red wine ever sold:
1. Screaming Eagle Cabernet 1992 – $500,000
2. Chateau Margaux 1787 – $225,000
3. Chateau Lafite 1787 – $156,450
4. Cheval Blanc 1947 Saint-Emilion – $135,125
5. Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1951 – $38,420

reply

To be fair that Screaming Eagle was a 6-liter bottle.

reply

The secret is buying one good bottle and then loads of cheap stuff because once you've had the good bottle, by the time you're on your second or third, you won't care anymore.

reply

LOL

reply

Literally how I buy wine. A nice bottle to go with dinner, and then a box of wine to get wrecked after.
