I wasn't surprised when, a few months ago, the papers told us that wine had passed beer as the US's most popular alcoholic beverage. Wine has numerous applications in cooking and many health benefits, so it's not wonder people are buying more of it. The only problem is that because it's often much more expensive and complicated than beer, and because there are millions of variations out there, it's easy to get a not-so-great bottle - especially when you're on a budget like mine.
The solution? Buy your wine from someone you trust who knows more than you do. There's a bit of trial and error to finding the right wine store, but when you find a store with a buyer who shares your tastes you can stop spending extra to ensure you get a drinkable bottle of wine. My favorite place to buy wine? Slope Cellars; try their "cheap but tasty" boxes at $8.99 - $12.99.
