Upon completing the rebate form, it indicates that not only the receipt needs to be remitted, but also a capsule for each bottle of wine. Are they promoting alcoholism? They are providing this marketing coupon which requires a case to be purchased yet submitted by year end. Are they aware of any wine social etiquette? Do they know the wine business? Many people buy a case of wine to gift a bottle as a gift to friends. So, they're expecting customers to ask for the capsule back? Are they serious!<BR/>I could see them asking for 1 capsule, but not the entire case. <BR/>Either they're promoting high consumption of alcohol by the purchaser or they have no concept of wine etiquette.<BR/>Either way...not good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-10191689261809702712008-11-18T11:21:00.000-08:002008-11-18T11:21:00.000-08:00How do you feel about these wines that were profil...How do you feel about these wines that were profiled on our site?<BR/><BR/>http://www.foodvu.com/content/top-10-wines-under-20Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548862359097022234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-53207926568448764092008-11-18T11:08:00.000-08:002008-11-18T11:08:00.000-08:00Sabrina, check out my recommendations for this yea...Sabrina, check out my recommendations for this year on this earlier post: http://goodwineunder20.blogspot.com/2008/11/thanksgiving-wine-under-20-2008-picks.html<BR/><BR/>They include affordable, easy to find wines that are available at places like supermarkets, chain stores, and Cost Plus as well as some more specialized picks--but all are under $20. My favorites for you would be the Clif Bar Family Winery Climber White, the MacMurray Ranch Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast, and the Cupcake Chardonnay. They should all be very easy to find.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-70349090392913596062008-11-18T10:51:00.000-08:002008-11-18T10:51:00.000-08:00What are some good go-to wines if you just need to...What are some good go-to wines if you just need to pick something up quickly? <BR/><BR/>I am on a budget but don't want to come off too cheap.
