Why spend so much for branded wines?

With more wine choices in the neighbourhood supermarkets nowadays, one can easily find a good wine at a very reasonable prices. Especially when Singapore is not like the wine region, it is sometimes good to find some reasonable price wines to substitute table wine.

I bought these Spanish wines from an introduction from a wine friend, and it was just $25 for a 1-for-1 deal at the NTUC fairprice. It was an easy drinking wine, fruity and sweet nose, slightly tobacco and acidic on the palate, round and spicy medium finishing. [so easy drinking that one can down the two bottles over some simple dishes]

A "Crianza" is wine aged for at least two years, at least one of which is in oak.
