How much do you spend on a bottle?

Lolly water has different meanings in different countries.
I know what you mean about the low volume wines.
Friend of ours was round for dinner and brought a bottle of Lambrini. Vile stuff.
We supplied a case of 24 beers and a 4 course meal.
I think she could see we weren't impressed, when we drank the beers and left her to drink the garbage.

Tony will no doubt enjoy the name and the description.

I did indeed appreciate it, sweet Nutrax. Ye'll have to drop by again with some wine - but leave Vinny at home, please. :)

Never more than 10 bucks!

I've been messing about making my own recently, I planted some passin fruits plants a couple of years ago and they've completely covered one of the trees in my garden, I have literally hundreds of them so I've started making wine. I made about 10L last November just to see how it went, this year I plan on filling the cupboards with it.

It takes about 3 months to clear and is reasonably o.k., but I've left 5L almost a year now and am hoping it'll be a bit more complex.

I was quite happy with a three-liter (=four bottles) box of Black Box cabernet sauvignon. Retails here for $25, so $6.25/bottle, but definitely better than you expect for that price.

A friend of mine who's very into wine got into box wines for a while. I tried one she brought on a camping trip and it wasn't bad but there's just something about pouring wine from a bottle that appeals to me.

The decant from the box into a bottle.

Wine is cheap in NL.

Decent wine for daily drinking can be bought for around 3 euro.

We drink quite a bit- perhaps 4-5 bottles a week (for 2 people). Horrible I know0_0 We pay about 5 euro a bottle. If we go out, it's about 20 euro a bottle for the house wine. In fancier restaurants, it's about 7 euro per glass

I recommended Black Box to the place that seems to have the best prices in Baltimore, and they told me they got something called Bota Box that I should try. They sell it at about $15 a three-liter box, less than $4 a bottle, or a little more including sales tax. I will probably get some in October and will try to remember to report back.

Typo in #38-- Then decant from the box into a botttle,

$10-$15 is pretty normal for us. The more we spend/bottle, the less we drink. I have a couple of $30 bottles -- a pinot noir from a small Willamette Valley winery, a sautern (a gift) and a dessert wine, also from a small Willamette Valley winery.

There are a couple good $5-6 Trader Joe's wines.

Sasha, I know people love the Phantom, but I was overall underwhelmed by the recent-ish one. (I think 2010 release). Bogle is a good value and drinkable, but mostly kind of uninspired. Except maybe the petite syrah which is very good.
