3. If you must look up at the bottle...
from the floor.

It's a good wine.

5. By taste
Good wine tastes good. Bad wine does not.

If it tastes like crap, it is crap, no matter the price.

7. Good Wine
A good wine can be what you enjoy. I have tried many wines over the years (friends call me a wino) and it's more a personal thing. You can't go by price. Many of the wine I drink are $14 and under, one of my favorites for the summer is only $5.99 a bottle. I've had expensive wine which I personally did not care for as well. Try different types to see if you like red or white, dry or sweet and then just go from there.
