Also on the topic of value buys -- maybe hockey playoffs will inspire more beer drinking (at value prices): http://www.vancouversun.com/business/fp/Cheap%20beer%20flies%20shelves%20drinkers%20tighten%20their%20belts/1500217/story.html Thanks for the comments Haley!

I love BC wines and I want to support our local economy just as much as drink the wine. However, I feel that spending 30-40 dollars a bottle too much in these difficult financial times. I am finding myself looking at the price tag first, wine second. Over the winter, and coming into spring I have not purchased a BC red wine, opting for the similar new world flavors of South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. Also, there are some wonderful French table wines for under $15. I still buy only BC white, my favorites being Road 13 White (now Honest John) which I think is $14.99 and Cedar Creek Chardonnay which is $16.99. I am not the only one either. My family, co-workers, and friends also purchase budget friendly wines, especially Australian cabs and shiraz. I guess, either the wine prices need to come down in this province or I need more money for wine! Haley Yes Sheila!
