Wine Tasting

Now, despite the fact that I just had a wine party, I'm no kind of wine connoisseur. Basically, I know what I like when I drink it. I can recognize when I like one wine better than another, just like I can recognize when I like one up of coffee better than another. And if it turns out that I like a cup of Folgers once in a while (or whatever they're serving at the diner these days) so be it.

Still, when I saw this article from the Wall Street Journal Online, even I was skeptical. House wine from 7-Eleven? "Value-priced" bottles from $2.99?

Favorite line from the article: "We tasted a far higher proportion of "Yech" wines than we would have expected."

They're drinking crappy, cheap wine and we're supposed to believe they're honestly surprised when it tastes like crap? Please, even I don't buy that!

I watched "Wine for the Confused" on Food Network, and a $20 bottle of wine beat out $200 bottles of wine in a blind taste test by wine "experts." It was too funny.

But yeah, $3? Probably not so good. Although, the best wine I've ever had was a $10 wine at a winetasting last October. lol

I've had exactly that experience. About $20-$25 a bottle can be really good wine. I had a $250 bottle once at an outrageously expensive dinner once and, honestly, I didn't think it was that good. I've definitely had much better bottles of wine for 1/10th the price. Definitely
