As for Two Buck Chuck, it is hard to argue with the mostly positive responses so far. If it is really decent I wonder why they don't charge just a little bit more to avoid the stigma. Seems like the demand is there.
I'm thinking of the "free" wines in domestic U.S. airline lounges. For whatever reason, the self-service wines in lounges outside the U.S. are usually much better.
Don't tell Trader Joe's, but I wouldn't mind paying an extra buck for their Chuck. I like being able to open a bottle without worrying about the cost; I'm essentially getting a bottle for what a glass is worth.
