Just popping in to say that every time I see a new post in this thread, I keep reading the title as "Amy Winehouse Snobs Here"
No joke, I was going to post the same thing

Saying 'I've had wine twice and it was shit' is like saying, I ate meat once and I didn't like it. Was it pork, beef, chicken, fish, venison, kangaroo, camel, yadda yadda. How was it cooked?
It really depends on what you were drinking, what variety, what quality. There are literally 100's of variables.
Around $20 is normal for a really quality bottle of wine, though there is some pretty good stuff in the $8-10 range.
Of course, you can pay much, much more if you want, and there is cheap wine that tastes like grape juice and grain alcohol but still gets the job done.
When the occasion call for champagne, I like Moet & Chandon Imperial which I can usually find for around $35.
Which reminds me, Dan, if you are going to be in NorCal and you like the bubbly stuff, I definitely recommend touring the Gloria Ferrer Caves and Vineyards.
This thread inspired me to buy a bottle of La Crema Pinot on the way home last night. $17.99 with my club card. Good stuff.
