I can't do Thunderbird. My father drank it out of a bottle in a paper bag and kept it under his chair.

I find the Yellow Tails are pretty decent.. Some Wal*Marts carry them in the $6 to $9 range.

Or "thirty twice," perhaps from an older version:

Bully Hill wines, made by a NY Finger Lakes winery owned by an eccentric guy (now deceased) by the last name of Taylor.
The Space Shuttle table white is fabulous. Love My Goat red table wine is superb.

Are you more interested in taste or the consciousness-altering capability?
If your goal is the latter, I believe science evidence points to Thunderbird.
(NEVER serve this in the presence of anyone you are trying to impress).
Well, unless he's a bum.
The smoothness needs to be experienced; mere words fail to get the feeling across.

The former would be drinkable. The latter is more drunkable.

ok, I think I might go for the Oak Leaf at $3. But they are only 12% alky so I would have to drink about 10% more for the same effect which tends to offset the price diff. I found a Vendance chard for $7 for a big bottle at a local Stop & Shop which wasn't bad but that may have been a special- we'll see. Since being educated by reading this board I have looked at my budget and concluded that I can drink the same amount of wine for about half my current wine budget at these prices. This is because of the recession. If I have to reduce volume, that's a depression!

Wine of choice around here for entertaining: CMS Red by Hedges (cab, merlot, syrah). Just a darn good drinking wine, $10 at Costco. Highly recommended.
