I just polished off a bottle of the Charles Shaw (the Trader Joe's brand) Shiraz, and it occurred to me that it was better than any of the "free" house wines I've had at the airport lounges recently.

No, it's not the best, but when I'm home alone it's nice to have a glass or two (or three) after work without carting out the good ($$) stuff, and at $2 a bottle, it's an excellent value for me. YMMV depending on how particular you are about wine.
