Actually, the fact that mouthwash is more expensive than a good $3.99 bottle of wine is what makes some of these wines so good. I can tell you that there are $4-5 dollar wines that I've bought that were every bit as good as some $10-$12 dollar bottles in the same variety...That is, if you're not looking for "notes of black cherry and pencil lead" on your palate as the differences between the two were slight. I go with the old canard that wines are to be drunk and not to wax poetic over.

But if faced with having to choose one or the other, I'd much rather rinse with wine than drink mouthwash.

Whether you do one or the other, or both, you may want to join AA!

What do you use to track bottle count?

We "made" some at a local place that been in business for almost 20 years now. We did a batch of Baco noir, which everyone seems to like. It's got some body to it, but that's good with a lot of our cooking, that has got lots of flavor.
I'm going to do another batch anyways.

Thanks, but I'll kindly pass. I'm sure I'd give you plenty occasion to be reprimanded or belittled and I am not a glutton for punishment.

My wine selection lately is dictated by what I receive as gifts. Living in a "wine region" has perks. The latest is Clayhouse Malbec but I haven't tried it yet. The client comes in to pay a $12,000 repair bill and drops off 2 cases of wine.

Messina Hof Beau sweet red here.
Current? It varies...lots of mostly reds. I did try a CS from Markham recently and it was fabulous. Then again, it was $30/bottle. So it oughta be. It definitely hit all the bases however.
I can definitely pick up some whiskey notes in this one...
For a relatively inexpensive wine, this one is quite good, IMO...
