That's because Screaming Eagle is clearly a better value than 30-40 y/o VP because its not imported. Haha.

#7 is total BS. How much does shipping/importation add per bottle in a container? Not that much

It's funny, but as I read this list of advice my first instinct was to find all the holes. For the average person (non-vinophile) though, who just wants to drink some "wine" on occasion, most of the advice is actually quite sound.
