(13,817 posts)29. Two thing I've learned about selecting wine...
If it's "vinted and bottled" at the same place the vintner usually takes better care of his product. As opposed to someone who buys a bunch of grapes or grape juice and puts it in a bottle.
The lower % of alcohol the sweeter the wine, conversly the higher the % alcohol the dryer it is..
I like your $12 to $20 rule also. My fav this month is 19 Crimes "hard chard" (16%) chardonnay... $11.99. Very smooth going and coming in the mouth...
