Average spend on a bottle of wine
 

What do you spend on bottle of wine for a regular night at home? Not at a restaurant, not a special occasion, just your regular night at home.

For me it's about $20

9.99$

$13-17.

Lots of Argentine Malbecs, Chilean Cabs, Spanish (Garnacha, Monastril, and Tempranillo), Cotes du Rhone, and Aussie Rhones within that budget.

Almost always French... $35 +

For an everyday wine, there are fantastic, quality choices. Never pay more than $12/bottle.

Really depends on my mood and the food being served. Low brow home cooked meal about $16-20. When were serving something special, I'd say more in the $26-34 range.

I have just a few $10 bottles at home. Usually keep a few around to bring to friends houses that think "two buck chuck [$2.49 now]" is adequate.

Took inventory a few weeks back, and realized based upon our normal consumption rate, we probably have a three year supply of wines in this price range stored.

LOL. I hear this, exactly.

We are usually in the $15-$30 range. There's a good wine shop right next to our supermarket, so we often will stop after getting groceries and have them suggest something in that range. Have had some great $12 bottles and some less great $35 bottles.

Two other fun facts:
- We've also taken to keeping a Black Box wine box around. It's a solid, no label wine. Sells for about $20 but contains the equivalent of four bottles and the built in tap means it will keep for two weeks after opening. This isn't anything premium by any means, but it is far better than any other boxed wine and on par with many $15-$20 bottles. Advantage is convenience if you just want a glass or two one night, and ability to just have it sitting there waiting.
- One of our favorite everyday sparkling wines is Sophia Coppola Blanc de Blanc. We recently discovered that these are sold as splits in aluminum cans. Sounds kind of weird, but they are perfect for taking poolside, to a tailgate/concert, wherever. And again, nice if you want some bubbles but don't feel like downing a whole bottle.

You can have a cheap bottle of wine (red or white) for about $5-$10 and the mid-range to expensive ones about $40 to $70.

$8 to $30. Sometimes a little less. Sometimes a little more.

My second home? Average spend well under US$10

I'm a University (or College for our American friends :D) student and the most I'd pay for my own consumption would be £8. Google tells me that's $12.86 in today's money, which is of course worse with the whole Scottish thing going on. To be honest, I'm just glad the Scots don't make wine that hits the supermarket shelves. That'd be some awful tasting p**s.

Last year probably around $10 to $20 when I was able to buy all my wine in France. Where I live now those same wines are about double the price, so I've had to downgrade.

Do you live in South-East Buckinghamshire?

Interesting, I live close indeed ^

Or you could buy better wines that aren't French. My experience is that, for ~$15 US, it's hard to find a bad bottle of red from Spain, Argentina or Chile.

Everyday wines ~15AUD, champagne ~50AUD.

In the UK, adjusted to USD:

Red wine: $25
White wine: $18
Champagne: $100

Oddly, I will almost inevitably drink more expensive wines (even ignoring mark-up) when eating out. Part of that is that I don't drink wine with dinner too much any more, but it was a habit even some years ago.
