I have one of those price sticker things in my house and I like to sticker my bargain basement $10 or less wine bottles with prices like $44.00 and $60.00 and when I have company over, I put these bottles on the table. I ensure I stay away from popular wines that my guests might recognize. They always say that the wine was fantastic.

Opinions vary. I never enjoyed opening a bottle of expensive wine. Box wine works just as well.

I recall the day fondly, the day my self esteem literally zoomed through the roof.

I switched from Boone’s Farm to more expensive Ripple and the euphoria of the breakthrough just carried me away.

No kidding.

HORSE SHIT. My wine comes out of a box and it achieves the same desired deliterious effect long before that overpriced 'sniff, sip, swallow, and breathe-through-your-mouth' Muscatel ever will. And let's see how good that test tube of frog squeezin's tastes washing down a slab of uber-sharp hunter's cheese sitting on a round of venison bologna. LMAO :-)

A recent song by The Who called "Old Red Wine" is a tribute of sorts to the late John Entwistle, who loved to collect (and drink) expensive bottles of 'vintage' red wine. As Pete Townshend tells it, the wine tasted like muck. /laughs

Some of the lyrics:
-------------------

Old red wine Well past its prime May have to finish it After crossing the line

Dusty old wine Two thousand a time An inch of black mud Always left behind

Old red wine Not worth a dime Gonna have to drink it with yer Some other time

Expensive old wine Forty years lying Mice chewed the labels Don't know what we're buying

------------------
Ahhh, to be a rich Rock Star with money to burn, ehhh? /laughs
