The funny thing about wine in Japan is that price is absolutely no indication of quality. For example, if it's French it's unlikely to be under 1000 yen even if it's just a table plonk. These fine wines from Mendoza are only 888 yen! An absolute bargain. I looked them up to see what they were selling for in the UK and it's 7.99 a bottle - almost double what I just paid.

A taste of Argentina
Look what I found in my local supermarket (Daei). We used to drink this when we lived in Buenos Aires so it brings back loads of memories.
