I'm sure there will be a lot of Two Buck Chuck but this is the Whole Foods version. Three Wishes Cab was $2.99 a bottle so I had to give it a try. The way I look at it, you can't fully appreciate the good, unless you occasionally try the bad. I've found myself purposely leaving a glass of cheap wine out for a day or two so I know what vinegar tastes like the next time a restaurant tries to pass it for their freshly opened house wine.

So I decanted this one just for the hell of it. Smelled foul almost immediately. (Synthetic Cork) I let it sit for almost an hour and the taste became bearable but if I had to do it again, and was on a $10 per week budget, I would buy 1 bottle from a shelf higher than settle for multiple bottles of this. Overall, harsh on the nose and left a poor aftertaste.

I have been known to slap the bag in years past.

This is a south louisiana sports message board after all.

I've tried 3 Wishes before, it was awful. Probably the worst wine that I've ever tried.

Once had a bum wine showdown. Thunderbird, Night Train, Wild Irish Rose, MD 20/20.

I think everyone lost.

I did this a few years back. Worst blind taste test ever. Talk about destroy your palate.

It all just tasted like vodka, kool-aid, and corn syrup.

It's a not a bum wine party without Cisco. You find at that gas station in Nicolson with the fried chicken north side of campus. shite is terrible

The FTC also forced them to drop their marketing slogan, "Takes You by Surprise," even though it was entirely accurate.

Our research shows that Cisco is actually the second best tasting of the five great bum wines, especially if you're having one of those hankerings for cheap Vodka, Jello and Robitussin.

All the gas station next to her apartment had was Blue Raspberry and some other terrible sounding flavors

It didn't seem like a fair comparison at the time. I specifically remember Blue Raspberry being a thing, this was about 5 years ago, I guess.

A former coworker of mine's dad worked for the agriculture department at Alcorn State. He gave me a bottle of some blueberry wine they had made on campus.


Worst thing I have ever drank. I was 19 at the time, so I still finished it of course.

Definitely MD 20/20. Wine that's never actually seen a grape.

It came from a toilet tank in Del Rio jail. Cheap is a relative term. Do you want to go there?
