In Denmark a glass of regular wine (one that costs $8-10 per bottle at a
supermarket) is $7. $20 for the bottle. Better wine you usually have to
buy a whole bottle and it is usually $30 and up. Few place you have a
selection of wines by the glass (mostly at italian places, where you get
to choose barbera d'alba, dolcetto, chianti, etc.).
In Italy you get a whole bottle for $12 (e.g. a barbera d'alba. and
you can take it with you if you won't finish it.
