GaryT Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I saw this article on-line which says there is (or will be) a surplus and some great deals in wine. We don't drink much wine (and what we do is the sub-$20 variety; we know what we like). Not looking to get into wine in a big way, but curious if any SB'ers are "in the know" and have any suggestions on bottles they'd recommend folks pick up on the cheap now (that might punch above their weight in a few years)? https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/16/business/grape-surplus-cheap-wine-trnd/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m by no means a wine expert, and I don’t have any specific wine recommendations for you, but in general I’d say that there are probably very few wines at the sub $20 price point that are truly cellar worthy. However, there are a lot of wines below $20 that are really great for the price and are ready to enjoy now or over the next few years. There are also quite a few more expensive wines, particularly some of the conglomerate owned brands, that are not really worth the price they command these days. Good luck on your wine journey! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Go to Trader Joe's and try some of the different Charles Shaw varieties. It's basic table wine from CA. Also, there are red wines from Argentina and Chile that may be worth your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
