How much do you spend on a bottle?

Verify you're 21. Never been ID'd by a website before!

Nutrax - Sea Glass (found on beaches) is one of my favourit things - finding a perfect piece is like a little piece of heaven and an instant happiness boost - so if I saw that bottle I'd HAVE to buy it regardless of the quality (although it looks rather nice on the website!) and within reason price!

Back to the question - we have two grades of wine in our house: 1) Drinking a nice bottle of wine for pleasure over dinner wine (~£10) which we will appreciate and guzzling with friends wine where I usually buy a supermarket offer for ~£5

Over say £12 I've only ever bought wine as a gift (or in a restaurant where I'd think £12 were a bargain).

Two Buck Chuck.

Sounds revolting or like lolly water.

I used to pay around $15/16 a bottle but now I find around $20-25. I had a very nice Shiraz some years ago - cost $40. After drinking it I understood the difference between that and their cheaper label.
I had a very nice wine in beij ing which was $8 a bottle. I was surprised how good it was.

Depends who I'm entertaining. Family or good friends (or both).... Anything upwards of £15 a bottle.
Just me.... Maybe a fiver on a NZ Marlborough Estates Sauvignon Blanc from Aldi. It's nice.
I only do white wine, request the diners bring a red and I supply the food and white.
I like champers - blended or otherwise. Not the really cheapo stuff - though. Gives me the jipps.

What's "lolly water"?

In some countries it's an 'Alco-pop' - in others a non-alcoholic fruit drink.... J2o etc.

Two buck refers to the cost. US$2.00 is two bucks. Chuck is for Charles Shaw. Nobody really knows where the nickname came from, other than it seems ot have originated in southern California.

In the interests of reporting back, I did go to Aldi's and it seems they've got a goodish wine section,I didn't try the Macon Village Tony as i'm more into my red but thanks either way.I bought a Crianza for £3.79- not bad but nothing special but as good as anything from other supermarkets that I've paid £7 for.

Now tonight I'm having another Aldi wine,this time it's a Bordeaux ,Chateau Laurencon 2009 for £5.79 and again it's like the above i.e very good and as good as any wine I'd pay a tenner for (Idon't pay that often).

It appears that Aldi is the place to go but don't tell anyone will you ?

Point taken - and noted with thanks, Lincoln.

I am astonished by the quality of the wine, Lincoln.

P.S. Aldi's free-range chicken and sea fish are, imo, superb. But I wouldn't eat anything else from Aldi since it's full of crap, etc.

Lolly water is my name for cheap plonk which is dreadfully sweet and has a lower alcohol content - like this . Yewk, it's bloody revolting. Ever tried this? - that's lolly water.

Or this? - I wouldn't even use it for cooking.
