Must give it a try, although I reckon we are hard pushed to drink 20 bottles of wine a year in the apartment on a 'day to day' basis, so it would have to keep well :-) 15 litres of “glugging wine” - that sure is a big glug!!!!

The equivalent of 20 bottles of red wine for 17 euros a box. However, you have to add in the cost of petrol and time as it is around 1/2 hour trip each way. Mind you various people tend to do the trip and bring a number of boxes back that they sell at cost to friends. It is not Rioja but it is a very pleasant tipple.

I wouldn't ay 10€ for wine but only because there is no need as is plenty of good cheaper stuff around. If/when we do pay that much as no other choice I don't regret it though as it is still very reasonably priced and is pretty much always really good. As for wine in the house 6€ is at the top of our scale I think??

Mind you, I always have been a skinflint. Espero que vosotros tengáis un buen dia! I’m not sure that I would spend 10 euros on any bottle of wine!!
