2 Buck Chuck Pinot Grigio. It tasted like Isopropanol, my tongue is still tingling, would not recommend. Its now down the drain (which is why the bottle in the photo is empty) I think it may have cleaned the drain.

My mom got it because it was cheap and she has a weird fetish for trader joes. She doesnt know alcohol, nor does she want to know alcohol

Without going into the whole history of Two Buck Chuck, suffice to say it is a remarkable operation for the scale at which they do things. It can actually be quite good, but it can also be bad. The best approach with 2BC is to try a bottle of something that sounds good, and if you like it, go back and buy some more bottles of the same thing from the same case, or at least a case with as close a date / time code as possible. Same year doesn't cut it—for a given year they will have used different grapes from many different growers, which is how they get that price and volume. But it means the flavor and quality can vary widely.
Or you can buy more expensive stuff which is more uniform, but there's no guarantee you'll love a given expensive bottle either. Though the odds are probably better.

When I was studying abroad in Italy last year, you could spend €1.50 (~$2.00) on a bottle and have a great night without the hangover the next day (they add sugar to wine shipped to America to make it appeal to more Americans).
Additionally, getting 'House Wine' in Italy does not mean you're drinking rubbing alcohol.
Oh, how I miss it.
