Hi All

I saw this a few days ago at BWS but forgot to comment on it earlier.

A six pack of clean skin Chardonnay (Mildura) for $11.93.

Have we hit the all time low now?

By my math that is about $2 per bottle.

Congratulations Australia, we now have our own version of the USA's

2 buck chuck

wines!

Surely the bottle, cork and transport cost more than a dollar?...

That makes the actual chardonnay worth less than a dollar, making it cheaper than petrol, milk and bottled water.

It's a very strange world. Do you think my car would run on chardonnay?

And with wine cheaper than water, and all the water restrictions in place, maybe the trick for the new millenium is to turn wine to water, rather than the other way around?

Don't know

but I've tried a few reds that would fuel a rocket, would that work?

shit, this beats my 2005 Medium Dry White (which is a chardonnay) cleanskin I bought for $25 (for 12)! the wine is pretty decent too.

[Ratcatcher]

It's only equivalent to bad cask wine. 6 x 750ml = 4.5L

So $12 for a 4 litre cask. Surely in bulk the packaging for the 6 bottles can't be too much?

I was passing by BWS (in the local shopping centre) the other day and saw a customer drop a case of this on the floor and smashed quite a few of them. The sales person didn't blink and let him pick another one, no problems.

The cost of these to BWS must be really, really low.

I recall before the first oil crisis in early 70's that only one liquid commodity cheaper than oil......Water. Back then oil cost USD2.00 per barrel and the exchange rate was about 1.25USD to the 1.00AUD. That's about AUD1.50 pb.

Beat that 2 buck Chuck!!!

2 great stories from that era.

During the first third world debt "crisis" a banker emerging from talks responding to reporter's question on progress said "All I can say is a rolling loan gathers no loss".

The other from a Saudi prince on oil. "My father rode a camel, I drive a Rolls Royce, My son flies a plane. His son will ride a camel."
