Do you ever struggle with what kind of wine to bring to a social gathering? Show up with an overly-fancy wine to a drunken house party, and you’ll be labeled a snob. Bring a box of wine to a gathering of oenophiles, and you probably won’t be invited back.

Although satirical, Wine Folly has constructed a handy guide, How To Choose A Bottle Of Wine — to help us know when to spend over $12, and when to show up with box in hand. Good luck.
