Weeeeeeeee Feeling hispanic today. Went to wholesale store again and it feels like cheating. Paid for this bottle what I normally pay for a glass.

I'm curious as to what you did pay for the bottle....likely in Spain it would be around 3 euros.

I lived in Spain for about a year, the red wine was cheap.....once bought a bottle for 79 euro cents, it wasn't great but was okay.....lots of decent wines for 2 or 3 euros, but that was 20 years ago

Yeah time's changed. Spanish wine in Spain is still a lot cheaper than what I pay for it in NL but I can't buy wine for 2-3 euros, that barely covers the taxes. Anything drinkable is over 5, starts getting good at 8 and at 12 and up it becomes more exclusive. I paid 6.50 for the bottle (on sale at main wholesale chain here targeting bars and restaurants), which is what they charge for the non-cheapest at a bar/restaurant per glass. It's 11-17 for the bottle at a liquor store. It's a night and day difference with the otherwise large collections of wines at (consumer) supermarkets. In Belgium this bottle is 18 euros. In Ireland 140 euros for 6 bottles:

I'm sure you can still buy wine for 2-3 euros in Spain, definitely not this one. It's 14 bucks on Spanish amazon.

The alcoholic asks, What is the alcohol content in 79 eu cents wine? Quality over quantity and all, ya know.

I paid $26+ today for onion rings and a cheese steak. It was OK but I definitely felt ripped off.

the big kahuna chicken steak is pretty good but try to find a place that "tries" to make a real Philly cheesesteak. we have a small local chain called Taste of Philly that actually fly in the hoagie rolls from philly .

I'm not a fanboy of any "chain".

With that said, I do enjoy Jersey Mikes. One of the few chains I have not bitched out the establishment for poor service.
Good food is not worth the price if the service sucks.
