American steak and eggs. Xikang Lu
Their shiraz (Argentina) is 69 for the whole bottle.
Actually a good tasting wine. Their pizza which is 80 Rmb cost more than the bottle of wine. |

When I saw the thread title, that is the place I was going to suggest. Most the wines there are priced very reasonably. Cocktails are 20. |

If you're able to drink a large quantity of wine, the best deal in town is the Friday wine buffet at Sasha's: RMB148 for all you can drink, 5.30pm-9.00pm, from a selection of usually a dozen different wines. The selection usually contains some very good, some disgusting and some rather so-so. |

Go to any decent jap buffet, 150 rmb for an obscene amout of food and red wines, plus other varieties of alcohol unlimited...6.00pm-11.00pm. |

You could always get a cardboard box and a bottle of Bai Jiu and get LOOSE on some street corner with some of the other bums. |

Just because it is Red and comes in a bottle with a cork, doesn't mean it's "wine". Some people have a pallete. |

There's great bargains at Aussino. I have bought many a decent table wine for 70 kuai. And if you want to splurge they are good value. |

I am not sure I understood...
When you splurge for a good bottle...you spend 70? |

On a related subject...is there such a thing as a drinkable Chinese-made wine? I mean one that a Westerner might find palatable. I'm prepared to accept that the Chinese might like the taste but the few I've sampled have turned my stomach. |

^ Great Wall (yellow type label)and China Wall (Cabernet Sauvingnon) are passable but Dynasty is pretty bad. |

Has anyone has tried red wine in a jap buffet, how was it? Is it palatable? Sake and plum wines are mostly paletable though, the ones I've tried. |

Do a search. I was involved in a full on tasting panel about 2 years ago. EVERY wine we could find available in China. Out of the 110 or so wines we were "forced" to sample, maybe 1 dozen were drinkable and 3 or 4 were quite good.
Grace is good. Catai is ok.
Dynasty, Great wall etc... are nasty dangerous stuff. |

^ depends on whose pallette I guess. Most wines at most places, even house wines at a few decent places are barely passable. A few good local/ domesticsw but yeah, DyNASTY is names that way for a reason...try drinking a afew. :S |

Well, the guy was asking for cheap wine and 70 is at the splurge end of the scale for poor people. |
