Wally wine! Hah.
For those to whom the thought of Walmart wine is funny. They have done blind tastings with supposed wine experts tasting wines from the $3 Oakleaf to various wines up to the $30 range and the Oakleaf came out at or near the top. A blow to the wine snobs I am sure.
We've done similar tastings and not found that to be true. $2 buck chuck at trader joes was certainly drinkable and worth $2 but could not come close to a decent $20 wine. Oakleaf was similar. That said, there are many $20 or $30 wines not worth $2. Price alone is not an indicator of a good or bad wine. I've just not found any $2-$3 wine that was as good as some of the $10-$20 decent wines I've found at places like Costco.
