Now I wouldn't normally ask about this, but I'm always looking out for an acceptable midweek quaffer at a good price and I've recently seen 2009 Koonunga Hill (the normal version) on offer at $6.99 a bottle. Is it worth my while picking up half a dozen for Tuesday drinking, or would it be a false economy?

drinks well for the price...i would recommend buying a few.

A lot of posts by people here recently have bene saying how good value it is even to lay down for a few years and then quaff

Can't see it being a bad buy at that price!

Definitely pretty good value...Drinks far better than its price...

My only issue with quaffers like this is not the quaffer itself...but it keeps me from drinking everything else I have....So while I'm saving the better stuff for actual special or semi special occasions, I'm finding that means I'll always outrace that by adding more faster than I can drink them (or maybe I need to have more special occasions).

Agreed, but more than that it holds up for years.

I hear you. I've got half a dozen Yarra Yerings and the same number of Ata Rangi Pinots I can't fit into storage anywhere and are just sat around at home, yet the midweek rack is practically empty...

Thanks for the confirmation, everyone.

That's my embarassed lament to my wife, "I know we've got 500 bottles of wine, but there's nothing to drink."

You guys need to do some swapsies with me, I have too much stuff to drink now and not enough stuff worth keeping longer.

I need some space back

I had that conversation last night. Thank God my wife is somewhat understanding.

Yep, regular conversation here too.... No, not that one, or that one, wait, ah no, not that either...

In context though, hey life ain't that tough....
