I don't know if you guys have super expensive tastes in wine or perhaps wine is very expensive in the US (which shouldn't necessarily be as it is made over there too).
In France you can get a decent bottle of wine for 7 euros (that would be about 9 bucks) and a very good one for 15 (19 bucks). But then this is France...
