Thanks Thomas! We've got a lot of new videos coming out in the coming weeks, so hopefully we'll change that soon!

Exactly, you get it!

100%. Cheaper wines definitely tend to fall apart the longer they sit. I think I wouldn’t called that Chard easier. But I stand by the Cava; I had it that night and it was still solid! Thanks for watching, so glad you enjoyed!

I was just about to post a similar comment- plus I find well made dry sparkling wine ( which I don't drink too much) compares well at most prices

Haha yes, I would have been mad if I missed any more. But Cava is a great value almost always! Vintage cava especially; $30-ish and will drink amazing!

So glad we can help!

More to come!!

Thank you! And yes, hoping for at least one vid per week moving forward!

Thank you, good to be back!!

It was fun to film! Glad a got most them right, but it is fun to see how price in wine can be correlated (or not) to quality!

Good call!

Agreed: there’s a lot of amazing values outside of the “big names”

@@visforvino You probably hear this a lot, but you’re the closest thing to filling the gap in my life that Bourdain left, you’ve energized my interest in wine, I just bought Joe Campanale’s Real Italian wine book. When Clo Wine bar was Open in the Time Warner Center, NY, about 2010, Andrew Bradbury‘s creation would send me into the stratosphere with each visit. You could learn about every wine you were drinking from your table top, just with a wave of your hand like you were in the movie Minority Report, as the light was projected downwards, surrounded by travelers from around the world, Sharing their viewpoints on what they like. I think Brian Smith was his partner & afterwards became a vineyard owner in Chile, now residing on the beach near LA? Anyway, very excited for everything you’re doing!

Good to hear from you and good to be back!

Thanks brother! Amazing tip, I do love Australia for value! More videos to come!

More coming! We'll be releasing new vids like this every Friday!

Thank you!!!

Agreed! A lot of cheaper wines tend to have additives as well, which probably contributes to that!

@@visforvino your wife must be very knowledgeable with wine. She did you dirty with that cava 😂. Spanish wines have like the best qpr. I’ve had 10$ riojas that taste better than 40$ Napa wines.

@@gozer825 haha 1000% agree! Spain is such a bomb value country, I tell everyone!

For sure! Check out our Nerd Lab in the Travel Portugal episode, it's on wine glasses! 👍

🎉🎉🎉

Oh yeah. I try to bring awareness to it all the time. That being said, there definitely ARE producers in America making amazing wine thats clean. Obviously you can research each one individually, but thats impractical, and I don't know any websites that categorize as you described unfortunately. Some will have verifications like "made with organic grapes" or "sustainable" but its rare. Your best bet is to shop smaller producers, over $20, outside of grocery stores.

Agreed! Part of the reason cheap wines are cheap is because they aren't stored. (That's why I mentioned it in #2 when talking about quality). But keep in mind the southern hemisphere releases wines 6 months earlier than we do in the northern hemisphere because their seasons are reversed.

Most “mass produced” grocery store wines will have some form of pesticide use. I always highly recommend buying small batch wines from local shops; makes your chances of encountering this way less!

To be clear, it's a wooden egg! haha It keeps the dust out.
