Cheers To Saving Money and Drinking Well

Ernest Hemingway once wrote that wine is the most civilized thing in the world. He forgot to mention that civilized wines, that is to say those that aren't sold in tetra packs, are often unreasonably steep.

A good glass of wine doesn't usually come cheap. The type of grape and the region all factor into the bottom line - cost.
