Hey /ck/ what's the best red wine you can get with a college budget?
>>
>>7415683
Please define "college budget"
>>
Moronic question.
"What's the best beef you can get on a college budget?"
"Is it Beefo brand Beef, the Beef you can Queef? Because if it is...!"
>>
>>7415694
$15 or less on one bottle
>>
>>7415703
Get cleanskins if you're poor.
Pretend it's for spaghetti.
>>
>>7415694
$15 or less
>>
>>7415683
There is no best wine
Try a few and then keep buying the one that tastes the best
Since you live in the US I would start with some Californian ones
>>
>>7415683

I like Winking Owl brand by Aldi, 2.85 near me. I'm not big into wine. But worth a try?
>>
>>7415725
Pretty much this. There are a ton of very good wines in the $10-15/bottle range. Wine taste can also be incredibly subjective. There may be some varieties that you really like and some that you don't.

Just start trying different varieties and different brands and you'll start to learn what you like and what you don't like.
>>
>>7415683

It depends on what you're looking for and what you're pairing it with. That being said there are a couple of wines I like that should be easy to find in any supermarket, more or less.

Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel is usually about $10, it's big and fruit forward.

Barefoot is okay but not great, on the other hand they are usually only about $5 and they stand out at the price point. It's my go-to brand with non-wine drinkers, as a basic table wine and for cooking with.

You could try looking for affordable wines from better known vineyards, Mouton Cadet is a $13 wine from Chateau Mouton Rothschild. They make a Bordeaux and a few other varieties now. Decoy is a another affordable wine from Duckhorn, last time I was at the market Decoy was $9 and Duckhorn was $90.

>barefoot
>okay

Also, where did you find a bottle of Decoy for $9?
>>
barefoot sucks unless you decant it for a week
>>
>>7415703

damn if $15 a bottle is considered college budget tier then i mist REALLy be poor

$3 oak leaf bottles from walmart dude
>>
>>7415683
I really enjoyed barefoot red blend. I like sweeter wines though
>>
>>7415725

this. price is no guarantee you'll like something. I had to pour a $30 syrah away recently because it was unbearable. learned my lesson. I have a $15 2012 blason d'aussieres open right now and it is fantastic.

learn what you like, then when you do spend more on a bottle you will enjoy it properly.
>>
You can get some of the Faustino series for pretty cheap. It's absolutely delicious.
>>
>>7415683
Since you didn't specify what your budget is, that means you must be going for a useless degree like marketing, to annoy people, you might be able to afford a Spanish Rioja.
>>
>>7416132
$15 a bottle is "daddy is paying for my everything and still gives me pocket change" college budget.
>>
>>7416339
Sometimes that happens, not every father wants his children to grow up to be a poor nigger. Deal with it, fagbait.
>>
in oregon i could get a bottle of red wine for $2 at trader joes. at those prices who gives a shit about taste or name, just get fucked up on a few bottles.
>>
>>7416339
Some people have supportive parents who don't want their children out of their life soon as possible and to survive off of ramen noodles.

That being said, some people aren't poor as shit and unemployed either.
>>
>>7416359
>$2 at trader joes
Another reason to be a bit careful about shister "good uncle joe". He's a shister, Snake oil.
$10 minimum to be a wino.
Anything less is complete alcoholic.
>>
>>7416385
did you attend college? the whole point was to get fucked up. my peak tolerance was 4 bottles of "red" wine in about a 4 hour period.
now days i can drink half a bottle of cab and be really drunk. i sort of miss my college tolerance, though, i know my liver thanks me for growing up

You have tastes buds of your own, just spend within your limit and try out wines. There's no best wine, it's mostly stuffy people looking for yet more ways to flex their elitism.
>>
>>7416423
All that said, chicks love it and it helps to get you laid.

Are you a fag?

Rich college kids sicken me

Do Americans get Kadarka or Sangria?

In Europe, they are cheap Bulgarian wines, Kadarka is semi-sweet, Sangria is sweet - and they definitely deliver in terms of taste, for a very reasonable price.
>>
>>7416428
Cunts with chips on their shoulders sicken me. Neither work too well in actual business.
>>
>>7416427
You don't talk to many women do you
>>
>>7416429
Neither, sangrita though is done as a chaser with tequila.
>>
>>7416431
Probably more than you do.
Oh wait, you're an "internet player."
OK so tell me of your conquests?

Stop trying to justify your undeserved sense of entitlement

Fuck off nigger.

One funny thing is that there are people who take this seriously. Like faggots from other websites.
>>
>>7416427
Then ask her what she likes, and buy a bottle. What is your usual plan, just keep one of everything on hand just in case?

never let a woman choose the wine. first step on the road to watching her have sex with black men.

plus it will likely be a meme wine she saw on some shitty TV show.

How has no one said Andre yet?

I live with 4 female roommates and they each drink 3-4 of these a week.

It's cheap, awful (especially the flavored shit), and smells fucking terrible when it mixes with pizza and gets puked all over your bathroom.
