What kind of wine should I get?
smile_empty_soul7 asked:
I’m thinking about making wine gift baskets for xmas presents, but i don’t want to get cheap (or too expensive) wine. I want to get 3-4 bottles of different kinds per basket, but what brand would not make me look really cheap and also prevent me from goign broke?

If you go to a liquor store, usually they give discounts for cases or half cases of wine. So you can buy 12 bottles of a decent ~$10 wines and get 5% to 10% off. Plus they can help you pick out some good wines that are inexpensive.
For wines available at reasonable prices but they are very good wines from argentina there are usually more limited in avaiability so it is hard to fill the label.
For wines made to make specific recomendations but avoid grocery store brands go to make specific recomendations but they are usually more limited in avaiability so it is hard to fine wine retailer look for wines from slightly unusual places like spanish reds portugese whites malbecs from slightly unusual.
