The question is where do you buy your wine? Feel free to add in what kind and how much you paid.
I noticed some Buy The Ways have a decent selection of wines between 10,000 - 30,000 won per bottle. |

| Quit pinchin' pennies and live a little. Hit a wine bar (Gangnam) and grab a bottle of Chilean for $40,000. You won't regret it. |

E Mart has a good selection of Australian wines. 12 000 to 20 000 won.
Also lotte department store has a very good selection of expensive wines(well in my opinion, but I'm not a huge drinker). |

Samsung Plaza in Bundang. They know how to store it right. The entire wine section is controlled for temperature, etc. They've also got a massive selection. It's the one thing I really miss know that I've moved to the provinces.
Carrefour is okay in terms of selection, but they don't always store it right. |

Seriously, go to Costco where you can get good wine at affordable prices. |

It's not where you buy it, but what's in the bottle. I've gotten some decent wines at Grand Mart. Usually at the convenience store I see Carlo Rossi, which has lost its sparkle since university.
Oh, the Carlo Rossi 3L ash jug......... (empties make a nice ashtray that will take about two months to fill). |

No it shouldn't, but you can't beat the price on a 3L jug of Carlo.
Cigarettes and other party supplies are expensive, so you've got to spare some cash somewhere when you're in university. |

Hey you gotta pay for quality man...If we're talking about a bottle of Chilean Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon 2002, you'll never find it for less than 35, 000 whether you're at Buy the Way or K-Mart. Trust me, its worth every penny if you want a real vino experience that will spin your cap around. |

| I also stick with Australian wines. Two favorites; Wolfblass Cabernet (14,000, more or less, at Homeplus or Carrefour, or,when I am economizing, Hardy's Cab for 8,900. Red wine is one of lifes little necessities for me- you know, good for the heart and such. |
