In your glass

Plonk is how we describe high-value wines for under $12. On the last Wednesday of each month, Plonk of the Month, a tasting of five or six bottles, runs in this section. Plonkapalooza runs annually in the fall. If you’re a retailer looking for a particular Plonkapalooza selection, you’ll find the Massachusetts wine distributors for each bottle on www.boston.com/food. You can also find past Plonk columns.
