2 weeks agoBeer consumption overtakes wine for the first time in France
France consumed slightly more beer than wine in 2025 for the first time in recorded history.
While Trader Joe's offers a variety of wines under $10, its Charles Shaw wines, affectionately known as 'two-buck chuck,' stand out for their affordability, priced under $5 a bottle. Many taste surprisingly good for that price point, with several ranked by typicity and overall flavor, showcasing decent quality even if not the best wine available.
