I mean I know its only three dollars, but at that point maybe they shouldn't even bother making it, its so awful. The Walmart oak leaf wine I'd terrible too. Also three dollars. Basically poison. No point in producing it

I thought the bay bridge merlot was "ok". Nothing special but for that price, what do you expect? I can't remember it being that cheap though, it's been awhile
I do. Actually, as much as I love to complain about our dear Kroger, quite a few of the Kroger store brand products are just as good as their comparative "name brand" products. Of course, it depends on exactly what type of product we are talking about. But, in general, the belief that Kroger brand products are much inferior than other brands is just something that isn't true in many cases. Some of the products are exactly the same as other name brands, even being processed or packaged at the SAME FACILITIES, the same thing, but with a different label slapped on it!!!
Sometimes, they aren't as good, but most of the time they are just fine. (Some people are "name brand snobs" and refuse to even TRY the Kroger brand equivalent if they have been told it isn't as good).
Case in point: I love yogurts.......many different brands and types. One of the cheapest yogurts around is the Kroger Blended Vanilla flavor Lowfat yogurt in the 32 oz (2 pound) plastic bucket. It has the lid with the purple, yellow & green graphic design on it. This tastes DELICIOUS! I love it. Now, if you are crazy about the really thick, pasty "Greek" types of yogurts, you might think it's a little on the runny side, comparatively, but it is very good and not that expensive, especially with the employee discount.
Greeting mr.krogers store worker complainer. My name seepi bhuti. Mr krogers wine finest wine in whole wide word. Seepi drink 2-3 bottle every night after long night of poop pant hard work for mr kroger...make seepi bikesikal ride home better. Good day.
I wouldnt really expect a wine that is $3 to be good, but I have never tried that particular one and dont think I will. There are many affordable wines that are good that are sold in Kroger, so I dont really need to try this.
Ive had many Kroger products and they're pretty good. For instance I like the seltzers and sodas, actually their seltzers are better then some other brands like La Croix and have a nice flavor. Dont knock store brand things until you try them, they can be just as good for a cheaper price than name brands.
I like Bay Bridge wines, I don't pay alot for wine, but I like to drink wine often with dinner.
What I found with Bay Bridge is that each type I get from Fry's tasted like I expect that particular wine type to taste like, without being too heavy, a nice simple, clean taste.
For example, my favorite red wine is Merlot, but it can often be a very strong tasting wine, but Bay Bridge Merlot has the flavor I expect but never too heavy.
It may be that their wines are minimally aged, so haven't developed the "character" or depth that others might have, but I like almost every one, in fact I prefer them over most others, the only one I found not to my liking was a new Red Blend I just picked up, which was more like juice than wine.
But for $3 in Fry's (an almost ridiculous price!), I enjoy Bay Bridge, in fact I'd pay 2 or 3 times the price because it suits me in flavor, without being pretentious, never overpowering, goes well with everything, and never any bad reactions like a sulfite hangover, and I have asthma!
I can afford much more expensive wines, but frankly when I try one, it is nothing special to my palate, but every one of about 5 Bay Bridge types I've tried I enjoyed very much, due to the simple characteristic flavor they have. Last year I spent time in a California winery bottling wine for a family friend, frankly they were OK, and sold for $90 a bottle, I'd never buy one, and they weren't as good as Bay Bridge, to each their own.

Bay Bridge is thre off-price division of Sutter Home, a major wine manufacturer. I have purchased the Burgundy wine from time to time and love it. $3 for the bottle in my store
There are very few store brand items I actually like. The problem is the grocery stores are pushing away the other brand items and forcing customers to buy their brands instead. Every grocer is doing this and it's sort of annoying. I've had many a good brands disappear due to this. Only to find out a couple years later the kroger name brand wasn't doing well so they discontinued it and brought in something else. So not only did I loose an item I enjoyed by another manufacture they now removed an additional item to that.
I never tried wine from Kroger store but you or anyone here should not be worried about that as Kroger Return Policy allows you return to return any product within 30-90 days from day of purchase. If you for refund it would reflect within 10 days in your account.

For a low cost general wine, its okay. Im drinking the Chardonnay as we speak. It tastes like chardonnay. Thats the point isnt it? Is it fine wine? No. Im an artist and writer, and I keep thinking of all the greats in both fields who drank whatever they could get as they struggled to become famous. Ive just never respected the opinions of negative critics. Ive been around the block more than once and everything I hear criticized, I usually like just fine.
