Cheap Pinot Noir.
The stuff fucks with people's taste buds, has no redeeming features whatsoever - unlike other cheap wines - and should be banned immediately

Yeah a decent Pinot is up around the $25 mark now. Shiraz/Syrah and Cab Sav can still be ok at about $15 though.

One of our neighbours does a very drinkable Pinot that sells for under $25.
Not complex but also very smooth and faultless.
Yield for Pinot grapes is low so anything really cheap usually is shite.
As @dogmeat says 'define cheap'.
Compared to something like Valli, this is good value ie a third of the $ but certainly not a third of the quality. -

Fake News!
Define 'cheap'...
Anything which tastes like sour lemon and Ribena and makes your teeth wince?
You can get bloody good, extremely quaffable, medal-winning supermarket Chilean or NZ Pinot's for $15 -$20 here in the UK. Why anyone would buy and serve undrinkable crap to save $2-3 is beyond me....

Life is too short to drink cheap wine.

If you want to serve Two Paddocks at an impromptu BBQ with Tesco sausages you should feel free, I say.

I often do this just to fuck with people behind me. Especially if they stand too close.
I also like to see how slow I can drive the work car in the left lane before people will overtake me in the right lane.

I briefly thought "What a fluffybunny" - then realised... yeah, I do exactly the same thing.
They never get the fucking hint though. I might start buying an extra bag at the airport, putting it behind me in those queues, just to get some fucking space from the stupid-fucks who think standing 30cm closer to me... means they might be even 1 minute closer to ... standing around waiting in the fucking boarding area. -
