My brother belongs to a wine club (Bollinger), and it is not cheap! You receive two bottles a month. He brought over two bottles from his club. One was $180 and the other $90, club price. The $90 bottle was not enjoyable. I have had better wines for under $8.00 – Fetzer Merlot for example, from Mendocino County in California. The $180 bottle was truly outstanding!
There are several inexpensive wines that are very enjoyable.
>Once saw a study in a wine journal that said the average person, in blind taste tests prefers cheaper wine. The explanation in the journal was that they are far more drinkable than expensive wines.

>I Portugal, back in the early 90's we could get little 30 cent glasses of beer. I can't remember the price for beer in Central America but it was equally as shockingly cheap.

>>It is always worth looking into the quality of wines and affordable wines. Thank you for the information.

>>Our wines from Napa are among the finest in the world. You can find many under $10 in California but I have no idea what they cost outside of the state. I do recall seeing California wines for twice the price in other states.

>>Wines from Chile, Argentina and Spain are excellent. Do not tell my wife Katy, I mentioned Argentina or Chile. She is from Peru and her family is from Spain. Katy was born in the wine country of Peru called Ica, much like our Napa.

>>In 1963 in Spain you could buy a bottle of vino tinto (red wine) for 3 cents. A haircut was 17 cents. Many Spaniards had long hair – wine was cheaper and more fun than a haircut. I long for the “good old days”, when I enjoyed Spain and learned so much about flamenco guitar and the Spanish people.

>>Now back to my guitar! :)
