Don't hate that you have to spend a lot of money to get good wine?

Well, sort of. To be happy with a bottle of red, it has to be +\- $45 retail. I'm pretty good with a $20 bottle of white.
I really like Veuve and Laurent Pierre champagnes and can hardly justify spending that much.

I hate how expensive everything is

ikr?! wine is such bs - - what kind of beverage do you have to taste upon opening to verify it's good?
