Plus, of course, no wine at TJ or other supermarkets in New York. Here, wine can only be sold in a liquor store. Liquor stores can ONLY sell wine and liquor (i.e. No beer, no snacks, nothing but wine and liquor.) Also, liquor stores have to be individually owned, no chains. So, wine is super expensive in NYS.

It's weird really, because the TJ house red is a frog wine for $5...though they've got a few half decent $6 bottles too and so do Wegmans.
That Carlo Rossi....I'm intrigued...it's $12 a bottle for the cheapest....which can't be good, but on the other hand, it's a gallon glass jug and that's much cheaper than buying a glass carboy for brewing, so I'm almost tempted.
Then again, I've got two carboys fermenting as it is and the missus might not be too impressed if I wanted to get another on the go
