Two Buck Chuck

This may not be the most current post but when I saw this I had to blog about it. There is a wine produced in California by the name of Two Buck Chuck and guess what, it lives up to its name. The supposed "sinfully cheap and good" wine sells for just $1.99 a bottle.

The wine is produced by Fred Franzia who owns many other brands and labels and has been keeping us lower budget customers happy since 2003 wiht this cheap blend. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find it anywhere around here, but I am sure if you could it would be a big hit with the wine-lover on a college student budget like myself.

Women rule the wine world!

According to the Napa Valley Register in an article entitled, Women wield the power in today's wine world," women buy 80% of the wine sold in the United States. Another interesting fact: men are usually introduced to wine by women.

I found this article to be very informative. After reading this I went to a huge wine store right near my apartment and looked around. Most of the people looking in the wine aisles were in fact women. I never thought that women might buy more wine than men. If anything I would have figured more men buy wine for the women to drink!
