104, Lindemann's and Jacobs Creek are among the cheapest of the cheap wine
105, You realise Chardonnay is probably the least pleasant of all the available white wines
106, A glass of sparkling wine (often still known as champagne ) is cheaper than a glass of non-sparkling wine in a pub.

Mmm, seem to have developed a one-track mind...
