Why You Don't Drink A $2.39 Bottle of Wine

Given the current economic times, I have tried to save money in many ways.  The last of which is shoes and wine.  But the other day I was shopping in one of the huge warehouse style stores for supplies and ran across wine for $2.39.  Chardonnay (which I don't drink unless it is Cakebreak), Merlot and a Shiraz.  I thought to myself "hey, $2.39....what the heck, why not".  

When my husband asked what kinds of specials I found, I debated on telling him about the wine.  Sure it is great to say "I found toilet paper that doesn't feel like you are wiping your arse with tree bark 12 rolls for $2.39"  But hey "i found this great wine for $2.39" notsamuch.  I figure let him try it and we'll see.

A few nights later he is out grilling and I am chilling the wine in our "only works half the time Brookstone wine chiller".  Pour him a glass and he takes a sip. "not bad".  I'll give him that it wasn't bad.  Wow - have I stumbled on to a recession priced wine.  The bottle was quickly finished and we were off to bed.  For some mind blowing - oh wait before I even got my sexy teddy on my head was pounding.   UGH, now I remember why cheap wine is better left on the shelf.  

Note to self... forgo the cheap wine.
