My bottle of Chateau La Nerthe 2001 I just opened is full of sediment.

And decanting hasn't helped.

*sigh* I wish they would export the good wine.

I heard France wants its balls back. No seriously, some Spainish guys stole all the balls in France. They're really pissed off because the Soccer finals are coming up.

That's a silly thing to say. They all make more than one type of wine you know.

Except for germany. German wine is uniformly crap.

Also you forgot Italy, which probably makes some of the best wines in the world.

That's hardly a table wine though. Anyway, it's too sweet.

Filter it through a brita pitcher like 10 times. It works with cheap vodka. I dunno about wine.

Some pretty good stuff comes out of south america too.

The only Red Wine I can drink without making what Dennis Leary calls "whiskey face" is a carmenere from Chile.

It really depends what your into. The Germans make very good white wines, the French make good red wines with complex overtones. The best french wines are expensive, and the inexpensive wines don't travel very well, though they are pretty good in their locality.

If your British and take the Chunnel midnight run you can pick up some French and German table wines for a pound or two a bottle, they're OK and better than dropping five pounds for the same bottle at Tesco. Chances are your wine will be in better condition than roasting in the back of a Lorry and turning into vinegar.

If your American you might as well drink Californian unless you've got the cash to blow on realy good imports. American wines are uniform in quality so for the vast majority of makers one year is as good or bad as the next. Find a brand you like.

If your insane or just looking for a cheap drunk may I recomend may I recomend MD2020, Thunderbird, or Detroit's infamous "Boogey Down" wine.
