Run on Two Buck Chuck

WNYC's Brian Lehrer show has created this handy dandy map of Uncommon Economic Indicators popping up in New York City. One that caught our eye? A run on Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck, with the tipster reporting "Giving up wine is not an option -we're just setting new lows on price of the wine we drink. The cheap (2.99) reds and whites produced by Charles Shaw usually take up the whole wall at the back of the store. This week they were SOLD OUT." We suggest they also buy some generic asprin for the next morning. [WNYC]

“We suggest they also buy some generic aspirin for the next morning.”
Do some research- Charles Shaw gets their wine from wineries that have excess barrels after they are done bottling any particular varietal, so its usually very decent wine, but will most likely taste different from one shipment to the next. So if you really enjoy one btl…stock up.
Also….2.99 it not a recession price- the low price is what made the winery famous.
