Wine Momma Wine Review - Oak Leaf Sauv Blanc - ONLY $2.97 AT WAL-MART - But, is it worth it?

From what I understand from wine makers that I know and have read up on, their goal in life is to make the best and most complex wine that they can from what they are handed each year at harvest time.

However, I am starting to believe that there are some in the business trying to out-do one another in wine cost. It is a great thing to have wines at a lower price point but how far is too low?

I think we might have reached that low. Wal-Mart is known for its great prices but poor quality. That is reflected in today's Wine Momma Wine Review.

Wine Momma Wine Review
Oak Leaf Sauv Blanc
$2.97 at Wal-Mart
What does it smell like: Trees, earth
What does it taste like: Dry, watered down, low alcohol level (which means less sugar when it was harvested)
Wine Momma Scale Number: a big fat FIVE. Sorry, Oak Leaf (see scale on right of webpage)

Now, all in all, I support and love cheap wines. But, after only a few sips of this baby, my head was starting to pound with pain. It actually gave me a headache and I could barely get enough in me before I abandoned it.

However, do not lose heart about that awesome $2.97. Use it in your cooking, my friends. We added it to our mushrooms that night and it did a fine job.

If you want to buy and enjoy cheap wine, I suggest moving up a few more bucks and sticking with Cupcake - best bang for your buck in any varietal. It is my go-to day to day wine.

Tell me, what are your favorite cheap wines and how low do those costs go for you?

Cheers!
