    Weekly Wrap-Up: Tetra Pak Yeah or Nay, Wine Over $20 and More (July 1, 2012)

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: July 1, 2012 Last Updated: March 6, 2021

    Welcome to this week's wrap-up, where we look back at all the activity of the previous week.

    First up, I was honored this week to be profiled at BusinessInsider.com:

    Business-Insider-Your-Money-Feature

    Not sure what was so exclusive about this story (I guess because they were the only one who asked that makes it exclusive??) but it was still pretty cool. And I loved the tabloid-like headline.

    This week also featured a number of reviews of really innovative wines, one for its package and two for their interesting blends of varieties.

    This Week's Discussions on The Reverse Wine Snob Facebook page:
    The review of the Fuori Strada Off Road Sangiovese and Grillo Tetra Paks spurred a discussion on whether or not this type of packing affects your purchase decision? It appears that most readers were at least open to the idea. Leave your opinion on The Reverse Wine Snob Facebook page.

    Next up was a discussion on how often you spend more than $20 on a bottle of wine. As expected, very few of you spend more than $20 on a regular basis. There were a fair number that crossed this barrier once or twice a month, and there was also a large contingent of diehard reverse wine snobs who swore to never spend more than $20. Got a different opinion? Leave it on The Reverse Wine Snob Facebook page.

    This Week's Most Popular Posts:

    1. Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 - Thoroughly Enjoyable
    2. Wyndham Estate Bin 555 Shiraz 2008 - Fruit, Fruit and More Fruit
    3. Fuori Strada Off Road Sangiovese and Grillo by Monte Bernardi - Old Fashioned Goodness In A Modern Package

    That's it for this week, cheers!
