Over the past year, I have continued to enjoy wines that
cost less than $10. However, I have also found myself loving some wines that
are often a few dollars above that threshold. I’ve been hesitant to write about
them as my site has always been for “the $10 and under crowd.” As a result, I
have written less.
It was during the holidays that I had a Budget Vino revelation.
I realized that I should continue to dedicate the site to $10 and under wines,
but that I should also give myself the opportunity to discuss amazing bargain
bottles that I find during my regular trips to the grocery store or local wine
shop. When I stumble upon a great bottle of wine that costs $15, I see no
reason to keep it to myself. So with that in mind, I would like to introduce the
new Budget Vino site tagline-
“The webs best source for budget wines and bargain bottles”
Rest assured that even with the tagline change, the site
will continue to focus on wines costing less than $10. The difference is that the
content will expand to give you more options.
We can all agree that economic times are tough, and under
$10 wines are more important than ever. As our credit markets crumble and the
word “bailout” has become the punchline in a joke we never wanted to hear but
seem unable to avoid, we should always be able to enjoy a nice glass of wine
and at a reasonable cost.
Yet even in this recession, or depression, or whatever you
want to call it, I still sometimes find myself with a desire to splurge (but
not too great excess). My day to day wines are almost always under $10, but
when I’m presented with a great bargain bottle, or a special occasion arises
and I want to treat myself to something special, I simply can’t help myself. I
have to give the bottle a try. If you too like to splurge from time to time,
I’m hoping that before you go to the store, you’ll make a visit to Budget Vino.
I want the site to be your best source for budget wines and bargain bottles.
Here’s to a happy and healthy 2009!
