What's the most you ever spent on a bottle of wine?
For me it was $95 on a 2012 Chateau De Beaucastel. Honestly I had $20 bottles that were better

>Honestly I had $20 bottles that were better
The 2012 Beaucastel is a fantastic wine. I just drank it the other day. What $20 wine did you think was better? And please don't say it was something from South America.

>>15742380
sure
>>15742410
Chateau des Jacques Moulin-a-Vent comes to mind it's in the $25-30 range usually

[Anonymous No.15742979]

>>15742481
Well I would completely disagree with you then.
I have certainly had wines around $40 that I thought were as good or better though.

I've tasted a bottle of Bjorn cabernet. which at the time I was selling for about $100. It was rather tasty. My store was also doing a tasting on some Beringer stuffs, and the lady had one in the bag. It was limited release (back in 07'-08) retailed for $100. Tasted like my balls.

not a winefag but picrel is the best objectively tasting wine you'll ever have for only about $30 to boot

$800 on Ace of Spades when balling hard at the strip club. It was the worst champagne I’ve had, and I’ve had Montaudon, Nicolas Feuillatte, and Tsarine.

[Anonymous No.15746166]

>>15746157
Those three champagnes are not the only others I’ve had. They’re just the runners up for crappiest.

I've spent $6-700 on wine in the past for special occasions. Mostly French reds, but a special vintage will occasionally come out of Napa that I buy for some godforsaken reason.

They're not really worth it though, in my opinion, $40-70 is the sweet spot for good wine.

Pic related was a gift that I had to get special ordered, don’t sell it on the east coast and it’s my dads favorite. Ended up at round 70$. Pretty good, but of course it was more about the company than the wine.

[Anonymous No.15747236]

Maybe a $40 chianti? I remember being pretty disappointed but I'm an ausfag and our wines tend to be dramatically more full bodied than a lot of Italian fare.
Honestly my favourite might be a ~$10 bottle of Franco and Rico Malbec.

[Anonymous No.15747319]

I once had a glass on Dom Perignon. Luckily I didn’t have to pay for it because my older cousin is loaded and he bought it. It was really good but not good enough to justify buying a bottle of my own any time soon. I think it was also a palette thing because I don’t drink wine very often, but I drink a lot of beer, and I’m a lot better at being able to tell the subtle differences between beers.

[Anonymous No.15747324]

When my grandpa died he gave me his wine rack since I have a good place to store it all. I popped open a 40 year old bottle of cabernet that was 250 bucks in his memory. still have a 1500 dollar bottle that I'm just going to keep.

~ €50 gevrey-chambertin (Vougeraie). Wasn't crazy about it.

Wines that I enjoyed the most have usually been in the € 20-30 range. Ch. Lilian ladouys (saint-estephe), ch. Potensac (medoc), chablis premier cru by marronniers, pernand-vergelesses by d'ardhuy

The last wine that really blew my socks of was a chenin blanc by a.a. badenhorst (piet bok se bos) for 32 eypo
