Always a bargain, but vintage 2016 even a terrific value .... a COVID-19 lockdown vine par excellence ....

Always a great bargain and the 2017 got even higher scores. The only disappointment for US buyers is that between the tariffs and the value of the Euro, this wine has gone up ~50% in price in just a few years.

Sorry to hear that .... got 12 bottles for EURO 7,60 each (no postage), so this was a steal ....

Rainier Lager | Total Wine & More

That brings back memories. Used to buy 6 packs of that stuff, imported North of the border. Better than the usual dishwater of that era..

Do you remember the ad where they went 'Rai -neer-beer' like a motorcycle going through the gears?

Nope ! 

The availability of that beer North of the border was probably limited to Alberta/BC. Never saw it out East. I remember people stocking up on it at Wal-Mart at discount when they crossed the border into Montana or Idaho, filling their trunks. Some of the local Canadian brews were better though e.g. Rickard’s Red.
