MM,
I remember when you used to be able to go to a bodega, bring your own jug, and buy Moscatel very cheap.

Hehehe... I don't think I was necessarily "brave" but okay. And I never did get A) a headache or B) a stomach ache so that's all good. I've been told by a number of 40+ year old Spaniards that THAT'S how it used to be for common folk, that you could take your own jug, bottle, or receptacle to the neighborhood bodega to get it filled with red wine - and it was cheap! Jazz, do you remember those days? (I THINK you're 40+ years old, if my memory serves me correctly ) Saludos, MadridMan

Sometimes the BEST wines are kept in the villages ... their secret unless you happen to be in a local bar !

UPDATE: They just lowered the regular price of this bottle of wine from 90 Eurocents to 81 Eurocents. Incredible!! Saludos, MadridMan

MM,
I have to count myself among the philistine that can't tell, well, can't appreciate the difference between a cheap wine and an expensive one. I can also say I enjoy domestic wine much more than any imported wine I've tried. I guess that's why there are so many varieties of wine. To each his own.
Although the wine we bought from the bodega had lots of stuff floating in it, it was pretty good. And I really like the table wine served with the menu al dia.
