Not exactly new news, but just a reminder:
I know screw-top (or the stuff that comes in a box) wine is often cheaper than the cork variety, but please keep a few things in mind when making your purchasing decision:

Okay, here's a critique of their second shoot. I rated it a 2.5 because it was better than their first shoot -- but still pretty lame.
I thought the direction on this shoot was particularly crappy.
