My wife drinks a liter of wine a year. I drink lots of beer, but there's
no joy there. When I want to cook with wine, I think two buck Chuck
would be perfect. The only time I cook with wine is when we have some
going stale/sour in the fridge. So there's that going for the cheap
wines.
I've never cooked with it. The damned TJ store is seven miles away and
I'm unfamiliar with it. My more local supermarkets can't touch that
price. I won't go that far. What's a poor boy to do?
