That's probably the only other good thing about wine, all the weird names and bizarre labels. Some of them are so out there, you can't help but ask "were they even trying, or is it a sincere expression of a particular night of hard drinking?"

Do not get into wine.

When you drink a really really good one, you'll be hooked.

And then things get really really really expensive.

it's like a fun hunting game where you have to find reasonably priced wine that tastes good and doesn't leave you with a pounding headache

The other thing that is really fun and great is when you start building a wine collection using wine-searcher.com then your state passes a law banning all out of state wine shipping. I guess they are saving you from yourself, spending your money so stupidly.

normally i'd say challenge that under the dormant commerce clause but the 21st amendment's a bitch

Apothic is all pretty good for cheaper costing wine.

Vampire and other fancy looking labels is all just juice/fruit that was grown by farmers who sell to well known and established labels. It's the leftover mid to lower quality fruit that the better known labels didn't want, bought at a discount by negociants, and soaked in oak chips and poo poo like that to balance out the taste. Most are OK, they're just very plain and mostly flat tasting.

The trick to picking out good wine is to check at the ABV. Anything less than 13.5 is trash.

A guy named Tom Wark is on the case and filed a lawsuit, in several states that did this recently in fact. We'll see how it goes.

interesting. i would think that the text of the 21st amendment implies a broad right for states to restrict alcohol importation across state lines, but i have also done zero research into the case law
