When getting wine advise you want someone how knows what they are saying. Guy sounded like he did and was very energized by it. If you wanted simple mans advice then ask neighbor.
I guess I am one of the few who enjoyed this video, even though he was a snob.
Wow! I have to agree with a lot of the previous comments on here, this is not a tip but more of a "whiny rant". Most folks would be appreciative that you showed up with something, (though there are some folks out there who judge a gift based on $ sad to say but true). If you put an effort into buying something you know the hosts like, or if you don't know, pick out something and say that it's a little different but you hope they like it. Courtesy and politeness is much appreciated =D
1st off, he didn't give anyone tips on how to pick wine at a corner store. All he showed us how to do is knock wine based on stereotypes and common misconceptions. This guy is the biggest joke i've seen on the internet so far.
He has no room to talk unless he's an expert and rating wines. Other than that... the best bottle of wine is the one that tastes the best to you. Price point doesn't matter, vineyards don't matters, and ESPECIALLY pricks like this don't matter.
I only buy win that I've tasted. I only like sweet wines or desert wines. I don't care for wine with my dinner, i'd rather have it watching tv and talking. That being said, everyone should go to their local winery and take a wine tasting session. I've found several wines that I absolutely love doing this, and all are under 10 dollars a bottle.
If you go to a super market and try to buy wine by the label or price...then you will end up unhappy and never buy wine.
I just got some wine up in the Napa Valley, and after tasting some of their fabulous wines, I could never buy wine at a store again. It just is NOT as good, or flavourful or interesting as the wine we tried.
Wine snobs are out. The new rule; drink what you like. Give freinds what they like to drink. If you don't know what that is introduce them to what you like, " Hey, I got this wine that I really like and I thought maybe you would like it too."
I'd have to agree with a lot of what he was saying about the big producers they really don't care if a store has their wine in the full sun. Forget about the fact it's dry cork hell.
2 years ago I had some Ravenswood Cab and it was pretty good when you consider it was $10. It was a warm fall night. Last year one year after I had it again but forgot about the falling temps....can you say rubbing alcohol? I'd approach it again though.
Few weeksago I had a Beringer cab that wasn't too bad
Beringer - that first wine that he called "dishonest" - actually does have a mega-factory winery in Napa. I'm not saying its a good wine, but they probably aren't being dishonest.
Everyone loves a good wine. But anyone who is so shallow as to judge a person based on their wine selection is someone who's dinner party I'd never attend.
This guy was hilarious! He really knows what he;s taking about, i may not have learned how to buy wine from a corner store, but i guess one shouldn't expect much from a store that also sells sunflower seeds, lottery tickets and snickers. There's always Ravenswood.
that wasn't that helpful. I actually really wanted to know how to pick a bottle of wine from the gas station/super market, "get ravenswood" isn't really "how to pick wine at a corner store"!
Whats wrong? more dislikes than likes? most be people in their 40s+ with no humour watching this.

Jeez, if you're that much of a wine snob, get a 6-pack of beer. Or just, you know, get the fuck over yourself.

8 dollar is still money. Try asking a random person on the street for 8 dollars. At least they did not come empty handed.
