Two Buck Chuck used to be drinkable, when I first heard of it several years ago. Kind of like a passable table wine that you'd get if you simply ordered a carafe of house red.

But in recent years its been awful. I won't drink it, but now buy it only for cooking, and not even for a dish that is meant to feature the wine (like a coq au vin, or a wine reduction sauce), but only for spilling a dash of wine into a stew or something undemanding.
