I have no palate for wine whatsoever. I can't tell the difference between the cheap stuff and the good stuff.

I think Trader Joes has $2 and $3 wine lol

Yeah, the La Moneda Reserve Malbec from Chile....$6! They must have had an extraordinary production this year!!! Prefer $8-12 a bottle with little variation from year to year.

Have had more expensive bottles....like velvet on the tongue/palette, but budget anymore vs. impressing the Joneseseses. ;o)

2-BUCK CHUCK is variable...most not great tasting and lots (barrels vinted) vary....prefer stability paying a few more bucks, but that's how we roll!!

2 buck chuck is decent. Franzia can be decent at $11 for a 5 liter box. I'm not really a wine person though.

Holy shit.and I thought I was bad.there is no 6 dollar wine that you can drink at Walmart and not get sick. I tested this theory many times. I tried the Jewish wine.bad idea.the best thing is to make your own

Two buck chuck? Can someone aware me?


"Two Buck Chuck" ($1.99)....Charles Shaw you can get in CA Trader Joe's (higher $ the farther wine crates have to travel....like $2.99 or $3.99 in Mountain States).


The Charles Shaw label is owned by the Bronco Wine Company, headed by Fred Franzia, formerly of Franzia Brothers wines.


Very inconsistent....some cases are good, others, meh to yuck! I gave up on "two buck chuck" and haven't bought any for like 3 or 4 years. Last few bottles I had were harsh utterly nasty. There were occasions where palatable.


Shortcuts in the production of a falsely advertised “Napa” wine. (The grapes were not grown in the Napa Valley.) Among other institutional shortcuts, Bronco didn’t hand-harvest but recklessly collected ripe and underripe grapes, among, them, unripe grapes, rotten grapes, leaves.


Other wineries that use machinery go through and pick out undesirable debris before mashed.


Mmmmm! Another glass please?!

Alcohol doesn't agree with me so I rarely drink, but moving to a new state I can't help but notice that the nearest Walmart has 4 shelves of the stuff!

And now they've moved beyond just beer and wine but into the kiddie stuff, hard soda: creme soda, root beer, apple cider etc.!!!

So I picked up a hard orange creme soda, gonna try it out tonite.:gaga::eek:::tiphat:

Whenever I hear or see people talking about wines......this sketch comes to mind:

A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette, but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

'Black stump Bordeaux' is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good 'Sydney Syrup' can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines.

'Chateau Bleu', too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.

'Old Smokey, 1968' has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian wino society thouroughly recommends a 1970 'Coq du Rod Laver', which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this, and you're really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is 'Perth Pink'. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is 'Melbourne Old-and-Yellow', which is particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of 'Chateau Chunder', which is an Appalachian controle, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a 'Hobart Muddy', and a prize winning 'Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga', which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.

Walmart doesn't sell wine in this state due to the screwed up liquor laws here. I would be willing to try some as long as it is not made in China. LOL

To be fair, the La Moneda Reserve Malbec from Chile was selected in the category of best deal under $20 USD. It was, however, among 16,000 entries.

I was just beginning to understand the North American wines and now South. I prefer a good Burgundy, and the best I have ever had comes from Oregon and is called in the states Pinot Noir. In the USA they call wine by the grape, and not the region it was grown.

I went on a wine tasting boat ride in Perth and it was really fun. Having all those Auzzy women hitting on me was maybe more fun than the wines themselves.
