[cheap wine thread] Wine peeps...

[Sea Six]

I'm going to switch from beer to wine. I feel better in the morning when I drink wine than even after only two or three beers the night before.

What's a fairly non-nauseating cheap wine? Nothing with a real cork... or even a bottle. Actually, I'm thinking about what comes in a cardboard box from Sam's Club.

I'm looking for just something cheap, for a daily wine with meals and after supper.

I prefer reds... cabs or merlots especially, or even a full zinfandel.

drinking cheap shit wine from a box will be a hell of a lot worse than drinking a few beers

serious...

There was an article in today's paper about drinking wine and the most purchased wine runs in the $7-$8 a bottles. I've tasted some pretty good wine in that price range and in my non-wine expert opinion most wine cheaper than that tastes like ass and a lot of wine a lot more expensive than that tastes worst.

decent wine has nothing to do with the cost of the bottle. it's more about region and personal preference...I could go on and on and on...but I won't because well...i'm going to bed

Just got a good one tonight...I never remember which wine I like so it is usually a crap-shoot...it was called Chill Out Sweet Red. It was on sale for something like $6. I really like it. Sweeter not really dry. I made it into Sangria.

Thanks... I might check into that one.

Although I do appreciate the dryer wines than the sweeter wines.

Some people dislike it but it suits me just fine. To each their own palate. I drink Yellow Tail Cabernet - Merlot. A dry red that goes good with cheese and salami. I don't always drink wine, but when I do, I prefer Yellow Tail. Stay thirsty my friends.

I like woodbridge. As long as I am in Alabama, I get winking owl for Aldis at less than 3 bucks and I really enjoy it.

I have only had wine from a box one time and it had a plastic taste to it from the bag.

Another vote for Yellow Tail. Not the best...but very drinkable and affordable every day.

If you have a trader joe's somewhere close by, head there. Roughly $35 for a case of wine. Mix and match with what they have. Charles Shaw (aka 2 buck chuck). You can't go wrong.

The closest one, for me, is in Atlanta.

Sounds like I need to find some Yellow Tail, and Woodbridge.

Any others?

Sorry, I thought this was a rant thread. Continue

I need more info on what you like in a wine. For instance, is it okay with if the wine ages while the vintner has a cigarette, or do you want it aged longer? Also, do grape dregs in the bottle bother you? Lastly, do you mind drinking straight from the bottle so as to avoid the aroma of the wine?

[VatorMan]

I like Penfolds Bin 389 Shiraz-Cab. Cantagua for Merlot. Edna Valley for Syrah.

[nhlgopens]

Still cheap - but in a bottle... just about anything from Reunite. Lambrusco and Raspberry are the two favorites with my wife. Even the large bottle is only about $12.

Those are just a *tad* out of my price range, but thanks.

Only if the vintner's cigarette is at least a 100, or one of those faggoty 120's.

Also, do grape dregs in the bottle bother you?

Is that the worm? 'Cause I don't have any problem with eating the worm.

I usually use a funnel, so that's not a problem.
