BetterWinesForLess.com is the idea of one Zachary M.C. Harris.

It's the abject result of my frustration with having poor wine selections at eateries, clubs and parties, especially those which I have paid a nice little chunk to get in to. I mean, isn't it a shame to attend a black tie affair only to be presented with the lowest quality, or seminal quality, wines in 1.5 liter bottles that you would only give to someone that you didn't care for? It's bad enough that sometimes you have to deal with the terrible music that some of these planning committees choose, but to suffer through it with crappy wine is the extra knife in the back... I am starting to feel like Caesar when Brutus delivered the blow. (Note to them: If you want more people to attend, then sometimes you need to stay current. You can always have a side room featuring the entertainment from the 70s and early 80s that you're older supporters can enjoy. But if you want new blood, it's blood that is moving strongly through younger veins).

While this starts with me, I intend to quickly engage several other people that can help build a sizeable list of recommended wines.

 

Our Mission: Better Wine For Less is focused on showcasing quality wines that are $30 or less in price, primarily as alternatives to the poor selections that are served in many eating establishments, clubs and parties that cost almost, if not exactly the same. Why drink crap, when you can drink better for less?
