When you're buying a bottle of wine for a friend's party, you don't want to embarrass yourself by going too cheap.  But you also don't want to spend more than you need to.  So how do you figure out what to buy?

 

Someone actually came up with a simple way to calculate how much you should spend:  According to 11Points.com, just estimate the household income of the people throwing the party, and then divide it by 10,000.

So if you figure your friend makes $50,000 a year, then a $5.00 bottle would work. If you think the household income is around $120,000 then pick up that $12.00 bottle.

If you follow this simple formula then the wine you buy should be right around the same price as the wine THEY bought for the party.

Obviously it means you have to kinda guess how much money your friends make, But I'm sure you probably gonna do that anyway.

Then again if your like George Costanza you don't even have to bother with the wine....
