How much would you spend on a bottle of wine?!


Question: I never really got into wine. I'd drink the cheap crap like Yellow Tale when I was in college, and it wasn't that great. Then once, I had a chance to try some really good wine (something like $300 per bottle) that a friend stole from her job as a wine steward in a restaurant in downtown Dallas. It was just as crappy. I'd say be cheap as cheap gets... it's not worth several times the price for only slightly better quality.

20 bucks, for a good one ill spend 50 but on average i spend 20

Depends on the wine. The better the wine, or the rarer, the higher the price. I've spent 125.00 tops for a top shelf wine and it was worth every drop.

How much would you pay?

Any amount if I really liked the wine.

I find that I the quality of the wine is not always related to the price. Its great to find a $5 wine on clearance that tastes astoundingly delicious.

I depends on how much I desire to have it.

I spent $185.00 for my mother's birthday.

You get some good wines for £3.50 a bottle in asda's. I love a nice Chardonnay ........ Hardys is great if not a tad expensive in some places. I get a lovely Austrailian white in asda's for £2.98 a pop. It's great for the price ...... you also get dishwater for the same price.
I can't comment of red wines as they all taste like vinegar to me no matter how expensive the bottle.
In answer to your question it would entirely depend on the occasion ..... at home alone £2.98 and for a dinner party with friends £4.00 - £6.00 no more ...... and as for champagne .... very overpriced fizz ................

Unfortunately the price of wine and it's quality are not aways related. I have had some very good wines in the $10 US area and some lousy one's at $50+. Then there is the problem of my taste v the next persons taste. What I think was lousy the next person may think is great.

This is a really tough question because what is good to someone, may not be to another. And what is expensive to somone, may not be to another.

I usually look for wines in the 10-15 dollar (US) price range. I don't like to spend more than $20 unless I know it is good and have usually had it before. At a restaurant, I usually won't spend more than $50 again unless I know it is good, and depending onthe occassion.

If you spend over $25/bottle, I have a bridge to sell you. There are incredible wines available for well under that range. Most of my wine is under $10 and some of the stuff I've found I'll put up against any bottle you can find.

Remember, price isn't dictated by quality, but by supply and demand and don't forget about perception.

Usually $10 to $15

I work at a wine shop. The general rule of thumb is you get what you pay for. Most of the time that is true, however we sell a German Riesling for about $10.00. We think someone messed up on the price and it should be going for $30.00. It's just that good. I usually spend $40-$60 on a bottle. Of course I just purchased a bottle of Caymus Special Selection 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon ($130.00) for my cellar. Last weekend the boss opened a 15 year old bottle of Neibaum-Coppola "Rubicon" (now Rubicon Estate). Current releases retail for about $100.00. It was worth every cent. Best bottle I've ever had. I'm glad that I started a vertical last year. I currently have one from each vintage of '00, '01, '02, '03. I can't wait until they are ready to drink.

$12 to $15.
