I'd like to have some wine on hand for the ladies...

[Jeff7]

LOL $10 bottle of wine is like watered down camp stove fuel!

Maybe that's all you'd need to light her fire, so to speak.

 

[Rubycon]

Yes that is a very nice choice. Sweet wine goes with a sweet man.

Get a nice Moscato di Asti, super sweet and women love it.

 

[Numenorean]

Thankfully this thread isn't full of morons who think you can't find a good $10 bottle of wine.

Nice job zinfamous on the Ravenswood recommendation. Their vinters blends are some of the better "cheap" blends out there. They do a fine job with them.

 

[Numenorean]

Get a bottle or two of blush, and then get a couple bottles of white. White is good because you can just keep it in the fridge and it wont really go bad. Red will go bad after a couple days if not pumped, and a week or two if pumped.

Are you serious? How can a bottle of wine go bad? Wait you mean you don't drink the whole bottle? What's wrong with you?

 

[Dirigible]

I had better luck with a liquor cabinet and knowledge of how to mix several foofy sweet drinks than with wine. Initial cost is higher though.

 

[Pheran]

get this

should be under 10

Id go with anything by Little Penguin. All there stuff is good for $7/bottle.

For simple Chardonnays, I will second JoPh and soulcougher, we have enjoyed Barefoot and Little Penguin, in fact I have some bottles of those at home right now, among other things.

 

[Pheran]

there are some great wines that are less than 10 bucks, ignore the snobtards

barefoot wines are great
as are most tisdales
sutter home
fetzer

most ladies i know like pinot grigio or riesling
for reds, you cant go wrong with a white merlot (still red) or a shiraz

Good to hear a kudo for Tisdale, we like Barefoot and I've got a bottle of Tisdale that we haven't tried yet!

7% alcohol? That is practically a wine cooler. I have no objection to wine coolers, but that's pretty weak for a bottle of wine.

 

[Jassi]

Two Buck Chuck!

Three Buck Chuck in Michigan (OP's location).

I also agree that it's decent but I'm not a drinker.

Actually one should be able to buy a decent bottle at $10-20. These would sell at $40-80 in a restaurant.

:hmm: Yeah.... no, don't do this.

I'm pretty sure you could live a happy and productive life by just doing the opposite of what people on ATOT suggest.

oxidation

never stumbled upon a bottle of vinegar hanging out in one labeled as wine? It happens. rather common, even for unopened bottles that were improperly corked.

and once opened, a bottle will lose it's freshness quite quickly. After a few days, an unfinished bottle is approaching the realm of cooking wine.

so demanding that the lady supply her own liquor, if she doesn't like what you offer, is an acceptable courting strategy?

:hmm:

 

[Terabyte]

Choya Umeshu Plum Wine - it's sweet

No, I meant it the other way around... that Colt45's suggestion was bad.

 

[Nik]

for $10... the best you're gonna get is

Two Buck Chuck is infinitely better than that crap and costs a third of the price.

Hell, it even comes in a damn bottle so if the women you're having over are wine retards, you can tell them it's a really nice, expensive, imported wine and the fucktards won't know the difference.

 

[Skitzer]

This thread reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjN8X7tgpUE&feature=related

 

[Rubycon]

Yeah those plum wines are definitely sweet. Too sweet actually and it's easy to get carried away downing a few bottles in short time.

ahhhhhh.

[shortylickens]

The kind of girls I date love Boones Farm and think Barefoot is too fancy shmancy for drinking.

Could be the point.

Boone's Apple Wine! We drank that crap in college.

 

[troytime]

oh, another that i just noticed on our counter, Gallo Family.
cheap, and awesome.

 

[drebo]

I'm partial to Gallo brand wines. Frei Brothers makes good red wine. If she's a youngin' though you could try something like this: http://www.bearflagwine.com/
