Sure, just to try it. If it's good - cool, new cheap wine! If it sucks, you only lost a dollar.

I remember a time when Boone's Farm was 99 cents a bottle. Good times.

segment on NBC Nightly news stated the economy is leading women to buy wine priced at .99cents.
 I already know you wouldn't buy wine for .99cents.

Damn, it costs less than one cent? How do you pay for an item priced in those increments?

The two of us should stick to the arts.  I guess I would pay a dollar and tell them to keep the .1 cent tip.

They are talking 99/100th of a cent because you put .99 cents ... not 99 cents

99 cents for a bottle of wine.  No way. Seriously, buy a box of Franzia, take the bladder out of the cardboard box, affix it to your body, put on some animal skins and pretend your a Viking explorer like a normal human being.
