Tonight I have learned why people will generally not buy a $3.50 bottle of wine.

I figured I'd go cheap. It was for cooking fondue; I'm not technically allowed to drink wine at all. I figured I'd take the last glass left in the bottle, after two cups of it went for cooking, and do the one-glass-of-wine experiment to see if white wine makes me feel like a truck ran over me.

Despite the fact I've been missing wine terribly, I may not finish this glass. I may, for possibly the first time in my life, throw away wine that hasn't -- by some definition, at least -- gone bad.

This stuff isn't even that good in fondue.

i typically buy new-to-me wine on either (i) personal recommendations or (ii) having tasted and enjoyed them. this compensates for the fact that i don't really know much about wine :)
