Price Going Up on ‘Two Buck Chuck Wine’ in California

Charles Shaw wine is a bargain priced wine made primarily from California grapes and introduced exclusively at Trader Joe’s grocery stores in California. The low price of the wine, $1.99 a bottle, is how it got its nickname ‘Two Buck Chuck.’ In California ‘Two Buck Chuck’ is going up in price to $2.49 a bottle because of cost changes at Trader Joe’s.

Fans of the wine say it will now need a new name with one suggestion being ‘Up Chuck.’ The price of a bottle of Shaw’s wine does vary according to state taxes and other factors so if ‘Two Bucks Chuck’ wine is still only $1.99 in your state there’s a good chance it will stay that way.
