That's Quality-Price Ratio to you and me... the goal, a high one.<br /><br />A great $100 (retail) [$200-300 at restaurant pricing] wine is easy to do... finding a great wine at $20 a bottle - well that's a whole 'nother story!<br /><br />So where do you find great QPR wines? A few resources:<br /><ul><li>Wine Library TV - <a href="http://tv.winelibrary.om/">tv.winelibrary.com</a> - Mr Gary Vaynerchuk's great vblog [note not all - or even many - of the wines Gary reviews are high QPR - but read the scores page on his site to find ones that are, or watch episodes as they are released.]<br /></li><li>DIY - make wine yourself - I'm just about to get started, but find more resources online like <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.finevinewines.com">finevinewines.com</a> (retail store and website - located in Dallas) and resources like WineMaker Magazine (<a href="http://www.blogger.com/winemakermag.com">winemakermag.com</a>) Most DIY winemakers who work from kits will admit you're unlikely to make wine that would retail for more than $20-30 per bottle, but given you can produce such wine for $3-6 per bottle - great returns.</li></ul>Got other suggesions?
