The recurrently "snooty" Wine Spectator

[pergamum]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think that wine drinking and collectiong is a hobby that should be relatively democratic. Put another way, I feel that everyone willing to sift through the abundance of information on fine wine should be permitted to reap the benefits of drinking fine wine!
There is a magazine out there--I won't mention any names (whoops already have)--that seems to market wine to the highest bidder. Articles on multi-million dollar auctions at Christie's (very informative, but, most of us don't attend these auctions) are coupled with the description of wines that run well above $35 on average (per bottle--a calculation made using 5 different issues).
Not all of us are collectors of the "First Growth" calibur!!! And, I know that there is affordable wine out there. So, for all of us imprisoned in our "piteous poverty," is there a publication that provides information on wine that costs under $20--ON A REGULAR BASIS!!!!! And, has anyone else experienced similar frustrations?--my ego is already very damaged from reading seven issues "of the aforementioned magazine," I need positive reassurance.
