Dollar wine: legit or nah?
Buzzfeed / Charlotte Gomez
Last week, Trader Joe's announced a new line of wine that retails for just one dollar (!!) a can.
They're called Simpler Wines, are sold in a white and rosé version, and cost $3.99 for a four-pack.

Much like TJ's two-buck chuck, this boxed-wine-in-a-can sounded too good to be true, IMO.

But because I’m a broke AF wino with a passion for paying my rent on time AND wine and cheese pairings, I headed to our local TJ’s…
Where, lo and behold, there was a pyramid of the stuff adorning the entrance. I schlepped a case of each back to the BuzzFeed offices. Then gathered a small wine crew — including a self-proclaimed wine snob (Hannah) and an actual French person (Marie) — and made them drink wine with me* at 10 a.m.
(*Since I'm known to get drunk after half a beer, I decided it was best to get others to taste them too to assure my review wasn't ~influenced~ in any way).
