When I was a kid I thought Lancer's was so cool... my mom liked to drink it. Later I realized that she just bought what ever was cheapest - kind of sad really.Quote:

Fortunately she got off the booze but it took a long time.
I was walking down Sunset Boulevard when a woman approached me and asked the same thing.
She wanted 50 dollars....
I kept walking...."

I wonder what she charged per glass......:confused:Quote:

At last! It is 5:00 pm. This thread has made me so thirsty.... I'm going to have a glass of Chateau Traileur Parc !
Oh, I had a set of those - a matched pair. And it was so "in" to have the candle wax all dripping down the sides......a testament to cheap candles as well.Quote:

I was soooo upscale tavern in those days......:D
Cheeeep wine??????
When are going to Miaaaaammmmmmiiii!!!!!!
Seriously folks, I don't drink wine but I remember years ago my Dad (RIP) used to buy these 4 litre jugs of Red Cherry Wine for about $5 and I think the sweetness code was about a 5. My Mom and Dad used to drink that stuff every night for dinner. I tried it once and almost threw up.
Now, my Mom has very expensive taste. Our bonding sessions at the liquor store usually has an hour as she strolls up and down the isles. :D Up here we can't just jump to the nearest 7-11 to buy booze.
Oh and the candle wax dripping down the bottle was an obsession for Mom when I was growing up. Soooo 60's!!!!
Gini - somehow I believe that you could do the upscale tavern look.
Slick - I was wondering when we'd see that kind of wine, but I always thought it went "I want a Mercedeeeeeeesssssss".
This whole thread reminds me of Steve Martin in "The Jerk" when he tells the waiter in a fancy restaurant that he wants some of that fresh wine.:p
I am so honored that my hometown will having something to do with Wal-Mart wine.
Ewwwwwwwww, who said spew-mante??? :D

I love the top ten list!! The names had me laughing out loud!!!!
Is walmart really making wine though? I know the names were a joke, but is the whole thing??
We can only buy wine and liquor in Pennsylvania in liquor stores, and beer only at distrubutors or in bars, so our walmart most likely won't be selling it.
I hate walmart too--the only thing I even go there for is my prescriptions, and I'm in the process of changing those right now too!! I'm a target gal!!
Speaking from a state that has a Wal-Mart every 5 miles....and the amount of alcohol consumed in the Good Ole' South...(Bubba)
This is Probably true....You Really think the names were a Joke?!?!?!?
I'm sure we'll be seeing Exactly Those Vintages on the shelves in Okeechobee!!!!
(Edwina,Nows' the time for the Gator Pic;) :) )
This is a good one!Quote:

Even in Moldova, where people live with less money per month than normal people per day, there isn't wine that costs 2$ a bottle. Pay attention, we are a wine producing country. How cheap that wine is!
BTW, I've been told that our Cricova "Cabernet" of 1984 is one of the best. They also have the biggest underground cellar in the world.
Vio: I forgot: We recently had that wine you brought in September. It was excellent and we enjoyed it very much:)
I also agree: wine is a product that cannot be made cheap in big factories (if it is you usually taste it). I prefer to have a good product and the guys who make it and sell it can make a living out of it.
