The trick to a decent red wine is not buying one full of sulfites. Sulfites
are used as a preservative and that's what gives you a headache in the
morning. There are plenty of decent reds available for between 10 and 12
bux/bottle. It's kind of a "go with your gut" kinda thing though. When you
do find one that doesn't taste or smell too acidic (vinegary) and doesn't
leave you feeling nausious the next morning, go out and buy a 1/2 or full
case (12 bottles).

Another trick is to have a relationship with your seller. Just ask "what's
decent these days for 10-12$ a bottle?" . Most sellers will gladly tell you
what's selling and what's not due to buyer response.

it comes to wine.
