Spend that Extra $5 my loving, devoting and doting friends. You will feel so French. You will feel so Free from hangover headaches. So Free from the liquor munchies.
I’m not a sommelier; chances are you aren’t either. I’m convinced you can experience the entire scope of wine varieties and flavors for under $30 a pop. It helps to make friends with your local wine shopkeepers for a nice discount (looking at you Psychic Wines).
This logic does not apply to magnums purchased for extravagant celebrations- go buck wild with those.
