- willp58 - 03-03-2004 My wife and I went to Applebees for dinner this evening.. I had 2 glasses of cabernet to the tune of 5.99 each! Hay-soose for a chain eatery like Applebees, I think that is a little high! I know, I should have checked first but I kinda figured about 3.50/glass tops. - wineguruchgo - 03-03-2004 In Chicago that would be a bargain!! I don't know of anywhere here - city or suburb that sells wine for less than $4.00 per glass. Anyone else? What is common in your area? - Bucko - 03-03-2004 Damned cheap if you were drinking Harlan. - Bucko - 03-03-2004 BTW, six bucks a glass is standard here, and it is usually a 5 ounce pour at best. - quijote - 03-03-2004 $6-$10 per glass in Milwookie is the average range. - willp58 - 03-03-2004 I guess I'm used to eating and drinking at the local American Legion where the cab is 2.50/glass. 6 bux at a chain seems high.. If we go to an upscale place here, I wouldn't squawk about 6 bux/glass. All things considered, the wine must be their biggest money maker.. I'm retired so 6 bux/glass is a little painful..No wonder I wanna start making my own..hehe [This message has been edited by willp58 (edited 03-03-2004).] - Innkeeper - 03-03-2004 We went to Applebees for mid-day and principal meal of the day. I had two glasses of Woodbridge Cab at $4.25 each with their Bourbon Street Steak skillet. Wonderful.

The place sells wine at a minimum $8 a glass--and that's the wine I know they buy for $4 a bottle. I don't go there. $8 a glass is, sadly, about average around here. Some glasses are 6oz. - winoweenie - 03-04-2004 A GLASS? Have no ideer about glass pricing. Can quote time and verse on the bottle cost, howm-so-ebber.

I'm still a little uncomfortable paying more for 2 glasses of wine than I do for my dinner at a chain that is maybe one step up from Wendys. - Innkeeper - 03-04-2004 That was the regular, not the lunch, menu. |
