One step above Gallo.
There is worse stuff out there than Gallo.
Not a lot but definitely some...
Thunderbird?
Smoking Loon goes for about $9 a bottle here.
There is nothing drinkable under $20

You can get a drinkable red here for $10 but I guess we don't have the same shipping and import taxes as you.
When we were students bumming about the South of France we would drink stuff for 50 cents a bottle but it was a bit rough...
hey, lounge, $2 chuck ain't all that bad.
if you're looking to get wasted, it's a cheap drunk!
Well if you want to go that route, why not this...

Not about price dude, don't be a sap. Smoking Loon is generally considered to be a "best buy." It's decent, but I wouldn't know so much since I'm not a wine-swiller...Thunderbird?

that's for the bums that live in the ghetto in san bernardino.
oh wait, the city of san bernardino banned the sales of 40 oz. bottles.
all you can get in san bernardino is a tall can or a case.
no 40 oz. no 32 oz., etc.
now all the bums get their 40 oz old english in east los angeles.
that could have something to do with your city flag being a glass pipe and a Bic Lighter.
San Bernardino, California is nothing more than a collection of GODs forsaken meth-heads who wouldn't know jack-shit when it comes to things like taste.
Berdoo is a fucking ghetto....God lifted up a map and tilted it to the left, and everyone un-planted, unscrewed, and unstable ends up living there.
No small wonder you're so unfortunate, unskilled, and generally fucked-up. What a shit-hole!
i'm glad i live riverside.
But in the piss-hole of said Riverside....
Honey, if you're shopping at that end of the wine shelf, Arbor Mist has a far better Pinot Noir than Edwards much-appraised 'Loon'...it's over-rated.
Last time I drank Arbors 'Noir', I actually woke up next to a chick I didn't regret fucking the night before.
Think about it, and thank me later.......Arbor, baby!!!
It is about price...
You can't make good wine and sell it for $9 retail.
Unless you're a vineyard looking to lose money.
Yep.
There's a reason why Loon is on the BOTTOM shelf in stores.....
Complete bullshit marketed and sold to you by vineyards capitalizing on the "exclusive" angle. It's all marketing dude, and vineyards are just dandy profitable. I know people who own them, it's fucking purple gold...It is about price...

But again, "I never drink---wine." So maybe I'm not the best to protest...
Some of the biggest douchebags filled with mediocre swill were distilled in France...

You don't distill wine Nick...
I don't know the tax situation in the US but here there is sense in paying a certain amount for wine. The tax on say a $8 bottle of wine might be $4 whereas on an $15 bottle it might only be $5 because there is a fixed tax on alcohol by volume(plus a % sales tax to pay). This means that the first bottle is effectively has $4 spent on it's contents whereas most of the extra money you spend on the more expensive bottle goes on the quality of the wine.
If that all makes sense...
no.
it's actually pretty nice.
very quiet here.
close to uc riverside.
I never said it was.You don't distill wine Nick...
Sure it is......

E- Jesus . Playing both sides because he didnt understand the argument in the first place
....just because you live on the other side of the wash doesn't make you averse of the people I was describing. In fact, judging by your posts, you're exactly the kind of person I was describing.
You've willfully given pertinent info on your own family(shame, shame)....why not gimme Blondies digits.?!??
If you really love her, you'll let her free to someone that can not only see his own pecker, but please her with it as well.......
It's not exactly a real brain-buster....besides, you've pretty much sold your own family out by giving their personal info out here....so whaddaya say?!
Let Suzie Q. be the judge on whether or not this would be 'trading up' for Blondie or not, but it doesn't look good for you, fatso.
The one thing about throwing your loved ones under a bus (like you have on this board), is that there are wolves like me at the door, and that you'll end up with fucking nothing!
Keep talking shit, light bulb!.....your life will end up in even a more pathetic state than it already is......

I never get tired of Louis Jardot Burgundy. I actually have a case of it. I've tried a lot of red wines and for me it's the best. Not too sweet, not too dry, and not over oaked. It's a French wine but not really expensive.
Usually when I think of wine drinkers, a vision of yuppie snobs at a fucking wine-tasting "affair" or "do" come to mind.
I prefer red wine when I drink it. I dig Cabernet Savignon. Don't give a fuck what shelf it is from, as I only drink wine once every several years, and even then it is because I am at someone's house and they offer me some.
Not much of a drinker in general, and prefer Crown Royal to anything else as far as alcohol goes.
William Buckley used to say that he never drank wine that cost more than $10, because it was for suckers. But I'm more of a beer drinker, anyways.
No, you're talking about boutique labels and such.
Just like there's a reason a Yugo went off the lot for $3K back in the day.
There is a BOTTOM that wines, beers, and distilled alcohol have that is the worst, mass produced swill or "house/well" varieties, and then there is quality.
You can't buy a good quality ale for under $8 in this country, and you can't buy a good, quality gin or vodka for under $15 a fifth.
Sure there is the RARE wine that comes in cheap, and wows the establishment [see the movie Bottle Shock]
But Smoking Loon aint one of them.
Loon is shit swill, that is only marketable because of the name and price point.
i.e. poseur.
The worst wine I ever had was Columbia Crest chardonnay. Horrible! I couldn't drink it and I'm the guy who will swig cheap mezcal with dirt in it.
In Italy and France there aren't really wine snobs. You drink the local vintage usually and it's good. Wine snobbery is the worst in the United States. Go to Chile. They have excellent wines but it's like Italy or France there as well. Nobody cares what the make is or the year. They just buy some and drink it. If it's real shit then something is said but in those places, they just don't make shit. It's all pretty good and reasonably priced.

In France people will drink wine with every meal. I've stayed in places where the wine van came around every other week and just filled up your wine tank with a nozzle.
We drink quite a lot of Chilean reds these days but for entertaining I would revert back to French because I have a more idea about the better quality ones.
I tend to think you have to spend more on white than red as you can quite easily get an soft drinkable red.
I spent a while getting into wine (I peaked at the point of having about 60 bottles of half decent stuff in the house at any one time).
To be honest I've kind of lost interest and tend to stick to just a couple of glasses occasionally now. I decided I preferred drinking beer and vodka and I didn't get hangovers that way.
I'm treading the middle ground here. I very rarely spend more than $15 on a bottle outside a restaurant these days. The supermarkets are constantly discounting in any case so there is nearly always something on offer.
I dunno about that but I used to drink some of your upmarket(by my budget) whites back in the day. I think I had half a case of Sauvignon Blancs but I can't remember the name. Probably because I quickly drank them all...Best Wine's In The World Come From New Zealand.

Do you drink beer that you can buy for $3.99/ 6 pack?
Yeah, neither do I.
Refusing to drink $9 Smoking Loon doesnt make one a snob, it means you care what you drink.
I've had $9 pinots that blow that crap out of the water....
Wine is good with a meal. But Beer, now that's good stuff!

Eh, most people water down their wine anyway. That is where the lovely :bleck: commercial "wine coolers" derived. Seltzer water and wine with a splash of what ever spunk you have. Hell, even daily champaign is watered down for everyday consumption, mimosa.
But if it is an occasion, make sure the mulberry wine has thick dust on the bottle because spirits are just that spirits, a good bottle gathers an aura. And good auras require good care.
