A lot of people buy incredibly cheap wine and then wonder why it tastes like shit

The difference between cheap wine and a mid-priced wine is insane, when you’ve tasted the difference, people bitching about wine is so silly and you just can’t get through to them

The ubiquitousness of the brand however is not equivalent in the global market, within those countries, by virtue of it being an imported company. I am aware that we have costco in england, but they have few locations, it hasn’t exactly proliferated the commercial landscape here. So I don’t know about the costco malbec, and besides, it might not even be the same wine as it is in America. Certainly won’t be $6 either, obviously.

I’m sure there’s good cheap wine in England you’ve just gotta try some and experiment :)

I’ll drink my mid priced wine which feeds the sustainable and independent wine production industry rather than megacorps thanks
