Good or bad idea to buy wine at Target on clearance?

I am going to have to go with "bad idea"... but not as bad of an idea as it might seem.

See, we got a new Target and it happens to have an alcohol aisle. At first glance it seems like there is no need to look for anything special. For now, it's the typical grocery-store wine-shopping experience that I avoid.

Until I saw the clearance baskets. The clearance baskets with the devil wine marked down 50% off. Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon for only $7.98 (or some other WalMart-esque pricing scheme to make you feel like it's not really $8). So of course my diaper-shopping trip turned into clearing out the whole basket of Root:1 (See! I told you it really is the devil wine!). Then I reasoned that the other wines in the clearance baskets must also be good ... and added more wine to my jumbo Target cart with both toddler seats occupied.

After having drank it all (no comment) I think it was on sale because the wine wasn't taken care of very well while stored or in transit. It didn't taste as good - and yes, it could be the Juan Gil (AKA The "My Love Affair" wine) problem, but I don't think so. I think there might just be something to making sure that wine is cared for properly.

I think it's time to get Brady going on making my wine cellar... you know, for all my wine I don't buy from the Target clearance baskets.
