Three Buck Chuck (from Trader Joe's) has been dominating the cheap wine market forever. I mean, where else can you get tasty, award winning wine for $3? It's definitely saved me a ton of money over the years. So, Whole Foods, of all people, decides to come out with their own brand of $3 wine. First off, this seems pretty random and off-brand for them. They charge a lot for their food, but now they want to have cheap wine? Okay, whatever. Their line is called "Three Wishes" and the bottles are pretty, However, FOX News (excuse the source) did a taste test of Charles Shaw against Three Wishes for the Merlot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvingnon. You can read the article here: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2011/01/13/buck-chuck-wine-gets-competition/ Basically, Charles Shaw beats them out in every single category. My favorite part is under the Cabernet Sauvingnon, which featured an odor one taster described as “feet.” Good try Whole Foods. But your food is still to pricey and your cheap wine sucks. I'll sick to Trader Joe's!
