Name some names, I'd love to find a Prosecco that good.

No, Nathan, YOU get serious. Charles Shaw is the infamous "Two Buck Chuck". Get it? Two Buck--$2-3? Same thing..
And I don't know where you're buying your Prosecco at, but I've never tasted one at any price that would beat any champagne let alone a $100 one. And for $10-15? They must ship all the crappy Prosecco to my side of the country, because every one I've tasted has been a bit dull if not dilute and a bit sweet. Name some names, I'd love to find a Prosecco that good.
But just for the record, about five seconds of googling found this page:
Where to Watch Football: Drink & Food Deals

which indicates [as I knew it would] that you can't purchase even domestic bottled beer for under $2 in a bar anymore.
But in all seriousness, for Matt McCawley - I'd try to get in touch with Rogness to see what he could recommend as far as light, delicate, elegant wine for people on a budget [unless, of course, you want thick, heavy, awkward wine suitable for inducing vomiting and inflicting days-long hangovers, in which case any grocery store jug wine should do - although you might get even more bang for your buck with Thunderbird & its ilk.

I'm just curious why anyone, other than the original author, would have rights to amend/revise any post? Lock it, delete it, I don't really care, but authority to revise a post should not be allowed except by the original poster. Period, IMO.
