One of the things I miss about Italy is wine being an "Everyman" drink too. I wish people would kind of get over it being "fancy" in the US.

- selectodude 9y agoWine is cheap in the US, too. Table wine, even in Italy, is no better than the $5 bottles we drink here. And the $100 stuff in the US is $100 there.
- davidw 9y agoOne of my favorite 'hidden gem' stops when showing people around Padova, where I lived, was taking them to the agricultural high school where my mother in law worked prior to retiring. Along with a working farm, they produced wine - and even grappa - there. It was actually pretty good, and if you bought it out of a tank rather than bottled it was very cheap. Americans especially were quite amazed to see wine being produced and sold at a high school.
