Last night at our house was a perfect example of this thread. Our first bottle of wine was a 25 euro Barolo, brought by a house guest, that was opened with much fanfare and which turned out to be very disappointing.
A really good Barolo is certainly worth the all the fanfare, but, sadly, I don't think there are many really nice Barolo's available for 25 Euros.

Two Buck Chuck
 
That is a great point as I found with the Chateauneuf du Papes on the other thread

Now $2.49 in California. First price rise in 11 years.

How would this Two Buck Chuck compare to something like Barefoot? Better or worse?

Probably about the same...but variable depending on the vagaries of the vintages they put in the blend.

I was hoping it's better because I tried Barefoot once and quite frankly the only way I'd consider getting a bottle again is if it were handed out for free.

I'm no wine connoisseur, 99% of the wines I drink are from Chile (sometimes Argentina) or Australia (lately NZ as well) and are well-priced but it has to be at least drinkable. Barefoot happened to fail that test. ;)

Trader Joes has much better wines around the $8-10 price point. Try the Panilonco Carmenere from Chile if you can get it. Two Buck Chuck is only good as drain cleaner. Barefoot isn't much better. :(
