Note: The contents of this guide were checked for accuracy when this article was updated on Feb. 26, 2008 at 5:09 a.m. We continually update the thousands of articles on OnMilwaukee.com, but it's possible some details, specials and offers may have changed. As always, we recommend you call first if you have specific questions for the businesses mentioned in the guide.



Bar Month continues at OnMilwaukee.com with a new feature we call "Price Check." Each week, we check local watering holes, clubs, lounges, liquor stores and grocery stores to give you a comparison on the cost of your favorite libations.

In the final Price Check installment, we get away from the drink that made Milwaukee famous and look into the cost of a bottle of wine in the area.

There's no need to sacrifice quality for price. OnMilwaukee.com asked a number of local retailers what they carried for under $10. As always, the Talkback feature at the end of this story is here for you. Feel free to list your favorite bottle and where others can pick it up.
