I'm on a cheap wine kick. I'm looking to become a connoisseur of plonk. I'm looking for wine that can be had for $10 Canadian or less. Okay, I'll go as high as fifteen. That's cheap, baby! Right now I'm sampling something called La Payse - Syrah & Grenache. Pretty damn good - nice body that doesn't come apart into different layers of flavor, but a tiny bit too bitter in the finish perhaps. I also like a humble French table wine called Cuvee Saint Pierre. |

Cheap wines in Sweden cost about 5 USD. |

Yeah in moderation... we're not talking a gallon of thunderbird in a single sitting here. It's a health thing. Yeah, that's the ticket. Real healthy. Leaky: never actually tried Blue Nun. Is it memorable? There's an advertising campaign in there somewhere... "You never forget your first Nun." |

Chilean wine is the best value. Holy shit Fear and Loathing is on TV! later... |
||||||||
|
|

Concha y Toro! That's Chilean. Good stuff, and cheap. And I named one of my favorite tracks after it. |
||||||||

thunderbird is fucking disgusting. i'd rather drink meths |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spanish red wine is the best imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh, I only know of Thunderbird by reputation, not by experience. I think I first saw it referred to in Mad magazine as something the homeless would drink. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't gotten around to the Spanish wines yet... tried a Chilean red a while back and liked it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, theyd be with me, theyd choose meths over thunderbird everytime |
||||||||
|

just stay the hell away from the 'gato' stuff...like gato blanco. and gato negro...etc. horrible. |
||||||||

Generally speaking, any wine with an animal motif is to be avoided. |

fruity-lexia .. lol.. full metal bladder.. the name of this thread made me think of a barnsie (jimi) song.. "cheap wine and a 3 day growth (beard)" |

My fav wine is the danish Kirchberg (not sure if that's the name... but I assume you know what I mean)... Cherrywine about 15%... I mix it with Brämhults Orangejuice, and it tastes sweeeeet =) |

Thunderbird is horrific.. THe first time I ever got so drunk I barfed it was after drinking Thunderbird. Awful awful stuff.. In Japan tax on alcohol from shops is almost non existent - so all booze is very cheap (except in bars) you can get a really nice bottle of imported gin, vodka, whisky whatever for less than 10USD. But best of all are cheap wine brands Mon Frere or Bistro - Japanese wine available in red or white and costing less than two dollars a bottle! One for the homeless for sure... If you want to spend a bit more Chilean reds are nice (and good value), I like the Ernst and Juilo Chardonnay and New Zealand wine called Cloudy Bay. Livverly. |

i always go for chilean wines. i don't buy wines with suspicious animal parts in them (most of the wines have cow brain or bone powder in them). so that usually leaves me with GATO NEGRO and GATO BLANCO, both exellent chardonnays, especially gato blanco special chardonnay. those are cheap wines so they cost around 8 euro (finland has probably the most expensive alcohol in the world) |

in poland you can buy a wine called "commando" 1.0l for les than 1euro!!! in poland you have a very large selection of very chaep vines made in pools!!(serious!!!) |

For a bottle of wine that really hits the spot there's only one in the west of scotland. Buckfast tonic wine. You have to shop around but you can purchase a bottle of the wine for as cheap as £4.19. It's so famous in the west of scotland that people go into the off-license and just say "Boattle o' wine" and the person behind the counter knows exactly what they are asking for. |

How cheap are we talking about here? The liquor stores around here stock up on a magnificent wine called Cisco. I prefer the "Red" flavor, before 2002 or nothing I say! It has a lovely bouquet that hints of kool-aid and colt45. The taste on the palet is almost too complex to describe, so you should find out for yourself. I frequent a store that sells them for only $1.99 a 16 ounce bottle. Theres the 24 oz. variety but thats almost too much refined taste for one person to knock back alone. I suppose the 16oz. bottle is as overwhelming in the same aspect, seeing as that the side label reads "This is not a beer. 4 servings per bottle." With a alcohol content of 40 proof, I'm sure they're preaching the truth. Revered for almost 3 years and still one of my favorite choices; the Cisco is truely a noble tribute to grand art of winemaking. This particular wine is only rivaled in taste and potency by the likes of noble Night Train and the much celebrated Thunderbird. I give it: **** |

All my wine in my wine rack is starting to look quite cool as dust has settled on all the labels on the bottles and I'm making a point of not dusting it. Ernest & Julio Gallieo is nice cheap wine and their rosés are particularly good for the price. Shame I've run out... my rack is a bit empty at the moment. |

Any wine that has a cork in it isn't worth drinking. |

You're not one of those wine fans campaigning for metal screw on tops are you? |

I have the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Higher certificate (one down from the diploma) I know my shit. And I still drink cheapo stuff. |

I notic noone here is a big fan of that wine that comes in a box. |
||||||||

Yeah why not? They should just stick a straw on the side like Ribeana |

Buckfast. Underage drinkers and the homeless in Glasgow wouldnt be complete without it. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Like a for big people. That drink tastes like piss, so I wouldnt click that. Its in a pouch. Kids will drink anything in a pouch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. It's just that every bottle of wine that i've loved along the way has been a screw-cap. Buckfast Thuderbird blue Thunderbird red Elderado Md 20/20 ( a plethora of varieties) Ravers Then came along those fucking alcopops and they all disappeared. I hate fucking alcopops. It all started with hoopers hooch. Bastards. Give me back my scummy wine! |

Mad dog is excellent wine. I found a bottle of vintage Strawberry Hill in my grandmother's garage. Ill save that baby for my wedding day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh my God MD 20/20 is evil... many a night had on the strawberry / orange variety. I used to drink Thunderbird as well, until I graduated to the stronger red label and spewed so hard if I even see a bottle now I have to fight back the nausia. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is worth noting that MD, Thunderbird and Bucky are fortified wine, which is why it tastes like flavoured sherry. |

i am not sure if you are mocking me or not, but i am telling you the truth (fact checked both on finnish vegan union page and ALKO, finnish alcohol monopoly) wines are made clear with gelatine and isinglass, casein and blood powder. |

I went on several goon binges ($10 casks, half the time str aight out of the bag) last year or the year before. I had no money, only about $30 australian a week which I spent on alcohol and cigarettes. It's actually not too bad, wine. I'd drink a lot more of it if it weren't so socially.....fruity/girly/poor |

I like to drink anything out of a box. |
