what is your average spent on a bottle of wine to drink at home? not a special occasion, just a regular night at home.

about $20 for me
 
I'm not a wine drinker, but my wife is. I'd say that €10 is about her price point.

I'd say that most that we pick up are in the $20 range, but wine isn't really expensive where I live now compared to where I used to live, so $20 at the local Total Wine gets you a nice bottle of wine. We'll get some expensive ones a couple times a year and drink them with close friends, other than that most are in the $15 to $25 range.

On second thought, my wife prefers the inexpensive sweet wines or the really nice reds, so the inexpensive ones she likes are about $8 a bottle. So I'll say on average the reds we buy are around $20 and whites are around $8, which likely knocks the average down to maybe $14 or so.

We are lucky to have a lot of variety at a reasonable price. We get good tables wines in the 12-16 range. I like Riojas and my wife Zinfandels which are little more ~$18-20.
 
We go anywhere from $9ish for low cheap weeks to $20 most often from local vineyards up to a few $50 to keep on hand for special occasions.

The price point is very subjective. There are good wines for cheap and there are bad wines for a lot of money. On average, I would say that it's around $10-$15, sometimes more, sometimes less.

If I add the wine I make in the equation, the price drops to $2 a bottle...
 
You can pick up 90+ rated wines at Costco for ~$10. Picked up a Kirkland brand 1.75L bottle for $7.99 the other day, rated 85.

$10. It's amazing how many really good wines are out there at that price point these days.

Very true.

It's more important to know how to identify a good inexpensive wine than it is to have expensive ones.

... how to follow Ouch and his wine-porn photos.

Oh well.



I usually spend between $12 and $30, tending to the lower end of that scale in general. Of course, that's in Canadian dollars and with the "arm and leg" approach to taxes our provincial government takes, so ... that probably maxes out at $20 US.

There are so many great areas supplying high value wines it's hard to keep track of them- Chile and Argentina, Spain and Portugal, the Rhone and the Languedoc-Roussillon, Australia, even America (sometimes).


By the way, who can name the best three bottles of the twelve I posted?
