What's the most you've spent
On a bottle of Wine.
share$130. We have a cellar that we stock and my wife liked it. So we purchased it. I don't drink so it's really for my wife and guests to enjoy.

$20 I think. I don't remember the brand.
shareI've never bought wine, so $0.
shareMy cousin Mike and I split a big bottle of bum wine (Wild Irish Rose) in 1992 or 1993 (we were 17 or 18) and drank it while playing Street Fighter II on my SNES all night (I beat him over 100 times in a row), but I don't remember which of us coughed up the two or three dollars for it. Maybe we went "halves" on it. So the most I've ever spent is perhaps $3.
shareOh, good grief! You just reminded me of this:

We drank this crapola as young, ignorant, first-time drinkers. I have no idea what it cost back in the day, and as far as I know, I never chipped in two bits to buy a bottle.
That's hilarious. I had no idea that the Boone's Farm company ever ran TV commercials.
This is what the bum wine site has to say about Boone's Farm:
Boone's Farm
7% alc. by vol.
Boone's Farm just does not have enough alcohol per volume to be a bum wine. In a bum's mind, heavy-hitting competitors such as T-Bird, Rosie, and Wild-I leave Boones in the dust. If Boone's would make a 17% alcohol per volume version at the same price, perhaps bums would reach for it. This sugary swill is more of an underage drinker's economy wine than a bum wine. You won't find empty Boone's bottles in any rail yard or heating vent, but you will find it in the local bowling alley parking lot or make-out spot. There is just no bumvidence to substantiate the bumsworthiness of Boone's Farm.
Wild Irish Rose definitely makes the grade though:
Wild Irish Rose
18% alc. by vol.
The thorn in your hangover is a wild rose from Ireland. Bottled by Canandaigua Wine in Chanadaigua, NY, the same company as Cisco. Like its brother Cisco, "Wild I" definitely has some secret additives that go straight to the cranium. Another web page claims that this foul beverage is a conspiracy by the republicans to kill the homeless. Bums ask a liquor store clerk for Wild Irish rose by saying, "gimme a pint of rosie with a skirt," a skirt being a paper bag. Some don't want it cold either. It's called "wild" for a good reason, and bystanders should beware. Wild Irish Rose is sure to light a fire of drunken rage in your soul. A guy named "Richards" is mentioned on the label.
The funny thing is, Mike and I considered Boone's Farm that night, but we decided that Wild Irish Rose had a much better bang for the buck. share
In that ad, Granny thought she was living the high life with her Boone's Farm. 😉🤭
share$0.00 for myself.
As a gift for someone else, I can't recall.
It's good board etiquette to answer your own questions first.
