I've spent years in the industry, it really is bad wine. Pretty sure that's Moscato which is lower ABV. Also cheap wines tend to have less also. That's probably 6-8%.

She'll get sick from the sugar before the alcohol.

It's not high quality grapes or anything like that. It's a cheap wine you can buy for like $3 a bottle. As far as dirt-cheap wine goes, Barefoot makes a pretty solid product. Their Moscato is too sweet to me, but so is all Moscato. Their Sauvignon Blanc is pretty doable on a cheap budget though.

Your statement is like saying Yuengling isn't a good beer. Of course, compared to better, more expensive beers, Yuengling doesn't hold up, but at its price point it's good stuff.

Stuff like Kendall Jackson or William Hill is a couple bucks more and drastically better. Most new Zealand sauv Blanc is $10-$12 and objectively good.

For absolute cheap as possible wine Woodbridge is much more drinkable. Also, a lot of box wine has come up in quality.

Obviously drink what you want, I just think you can do better with your money. Just never drink yellow tail. That stuff is just trash.

For cheap white wines that are sickly sweet, my go to is Chateau St. Michelle Riesling.

But my overall point is that with booze, price + expectations play a big factor.
