I paid $2.97 for that bottle, it could have at least not tasted like turpentine.

Anyone have any suggestions for cheap swill that I can buy as gifts when I really don't want to give one, or I really don't even care if the person is alive or dead. My budget is sub-$5 - preferably sub $3. If I wanted to spend more, it would be on me.

I know the stuff you're talking about. I bought a bottle of the red and threw out most of it. Mrs BV bought a bottle 6 months later, having forgotten the previous experience and we had to throw it out. I'd recommend a cheap bottle of sweet wine, Ruinite perhaps. The excess sugar usually overcomes any off flavors.
