Do you have a Makro near you? if so go there and look for "Hulu" not bad at all for 350 Baht

I do, but I'm temporarily disabled, so I'm stuck with 7-11.  I saw a Youtube video that suggests that they have bottled Peter Vella, which is reasonably drinkable.  

 

Anyone else seen it there?

Except you are paying at least 3 times the Aussie price. AFAIK 7/11's don't sell cask wines.

Yes, Peter Vella in a 750 ml bottle (A label from Gallo Winery of Modesto, CA), is available from time to time in various 7s, at least in Chonburi Province.

 

It is readily available at Central Supermarkets, and at some Big C Extra outlets when you can get around. It comes in boxes as well, and is quite drinkable. A good nose, delicate on the palate and a versatile accompanyment to many dishes.

 

Best wishes on your recovery.

Do you mean Tops?

 

the last time I was in Tops up here they had stopped selling Peter Vella and weren’t getting any more - so said the lady in charge of that aisle.

I buy "Laughing Bird" a 1.5 litre bottle, Australian wine, at Tesco Lotus Express, not the best wine in the world, however drinkable, at about 575 baht, and that is a 2 bottle size, works out under 300 baht for 750 mil. bottle, go for it

Depends on what your used to? If drinking very cheap local, young wines in US or European countryside is normal for you then maybe you'll find them ok. But I ask myself about the equation: Stockist =  7-11, Thailand, country low in understanding and appreciation of good wines, cheap prices = crap.  

I mean come on people in LOS drink reds chilled in the fridge for God's sake!

Reminds me of that old saying, “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt”.

The most common misconception with red wine is that it is ideal to serve it at room temperature, when in fact serving it cool is the best way to enjoy it. To cool red down to its proper temperature, we like to place it in the fridge an hour before serving it.

 

Teaching moment over.

if room temperature is 30+, there is nothing wrong with a rouge petit frappé.
