I'd have to say $7 for a bottle of beer for my wife at a restaurant. She just has to like the expensive stuff (cherry flavored beer).

Probably why we were even served, since they made a killing off us.

OMG TEH NOES!!!! NOT 16!!!!11111oneoneone

Hi. Shockwave and Seth foff. He's on topic, you two are just asshats.
 
I bought a box of wine in Spain for ~$1.50 once. God damn everything was cheap there.. It looked expensive (300 Pesettas), but then again, it was about 160 Pesettas to the dollar while I was there. I mixed the box of wine with a 2l bottle of Coke and they all called it Calimocho. I called it a bad hangover potion (though, I did drink it like water).

I bought an $8 bottle of wine for cooking once. I had a glass of it while I was cooking. It got me drunk. I hate wine. One glass and I'm loopy.. Beer, on the other hand, is my best friend.
 
If you count table service at a club, then probably $250 or $300 for a bottle of Belvedere. Granted it was split many ways, but goddamn that's such a rip-off.

Lifetime, about $5 million or so. I think I'd be retired by now if I didn't drink so much in my late teens and early 20's.



On a single bottle, I bought my girlfriend a bottle of Dom Perignon for graduation from college. With 2 crystal flutes it was close to $400, so figure around $350 for the bottle itself.



I can get Dom for around $100 a bottle. You got taken.

I've seen it at Costco for like $85.

If you're buying Dom at $100 a bottle YOU are the one getting taken. Anything near that price is an inferior vintage and you're buying crap just to have a name on the bottle. You might as well buy Freixenet, it'll be just as good and you'll save $80.

Anyone who spends $350 on a bottle of champagne is just doing it to feel important.
I guarantee that if you did a blind taste test between that $350 bottle and a good $20-30 bottle of champagne, 99% of the people wouldn't be able to tell which is which and at least half the people would prefer the $20 bottle.

It's like buying a $10000 Rolex. Is it really a better watch than a $100 Seiko?
No, but it has the Rolex name and it lets people know how rich and important you are.

Anyone see the taste test they did with two buck chuck against $30-$50 bottles of wine?
The testers were students and teachers at a culinary institute and two buck chuck beat most of the other wines.

Prude 😛

I've spent maybe $35 tops on vino because I can't tell the difference between it and the $200 bottle despite years of developing my palate. I have spent maybe $100 on good single-malt though....
