On our trip to #Rome in December, I enjoyed good and cheap table wine with pasta, pizza and pinsa. I decided to keep an eye out for chianti at home in the US... but a bit of searching led to discovery that chianti got Schlitzed: a couple of years of poor quality killed US demand for the product. Italian wine is almost impossible to find in our supermarkets. Most supermarket wine is domestic, but South American and Australian wines aren't hard to find, and there is a lot of French wine at higher price points.
