Fact. Inexpensive wine in France is amazeballs. It is literally cheaper to buy a damn good bottle of house wine in a restaurant in Paris than a bottle of water.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2017 7:59 pmFact. Cheap whiskey can be ok. See "Rebel Yell" at Trader Joe's. Cheap wine sucks balls, but there can be exceptions, most of them magically delivered from France via Costco.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2017 7:57 pm
The same as what, though? Which whiskey is at that tier?
That's what I'm getting at - your scale for whiskey starts at the bottom but your scale for wine starts at the middle.
And by literally I mean literally.

I'm drinking Robert Hall 2014 Cab from Paso Robles which sells for $13.99 at Costco and I daily drive the FUCK out of this stuff. It will crush many a $30 pretender.

All PA liquor stores are a single entity so they buy MASSIVE amounts. For that mainstream stuff it really drives prices way down.
One would think that things would be cheaper with no transport or interstate business going on, but again I'm not an economist...

They'd buy more if they got lower prices than they can get at home.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2017 11:43 pmTourists.troyguitar wrote:

They tax getting heavily down here, that's part of the problem. CA is actually pretty reasonable in comparison.

I got last night too. I started with some free wine someone left at our house. Then I had some Wild I won in our party gift exchange ( luck/#richgettingricher) . Then went full and had three or four $5.50 beers at one of the breweries in our neighborhood. Then I sang karaoke.
