Does the low price means low quality? Have you ever tasted it?

I've not tasted it, but the low price probably reflects the low tax: about £2 of the cost of a £5 bottle of wine in the UK is alcohol tax, which makes them very comparable.

I just read about the process of making it, and it seems that the taste should be preserved - I may look for it...

That depends on how you cook it, and how long you cook it for:

I use it with meat and it is over 3 hours, and with chicken in the oven which is over 2 hours, but high temperature...
And I do not eat either...

You obviously have the wrong doctor.
Mine specifically wants me to have one (or two) alcoholic beverages a day (to raise my HDL) - which is more than I can handle . . . it's the thought that counts.
So just switch and everything will be fine.

Unfortunately I have gout, and alcohol does nothing good to it...

I've found good and bad in all 3 categories... the Mrs. is partial to the dry reds from [yellow tail] wines - Great Australian wine[^] which usually fall into "A".
On a related note: The Mrs. and I have made a couple batches of homemade wine in the last year or so. Turned out wonderful.

about 200 - 1000, comes with a free plane ride to some faraway destination.
(even better when someone else is paying, and it's not as if I'm stupid enough to pretend to be important and pull out a laptop on a flight.)

actually normally I have the wine to help me nod off.
- comparable alcohol-amount of beer meant getting up to go to the loo,
- tried spirits: coz of plane dehydrating too easy to overdo - no fun on landing: collect bags, customs etc.

I buy vineyards, not bottles. Much more economical.

Nothing. I don't drink wine. Not even when it is free.

Five Liters @ US$17, more or less. Fortunately, I only have a taste for good scotch. Wine's a much more expensive indulgence - sure - I can taste a difference - but it's not worth any money to me.
So - for a 750ml bottle we're talking roughly about £2.0

Depends on the purpose. Anywhere between $10 and $250.
I cook with it more than I drink it, but, if I don't like the taste drinking it, I don't cook with it either.
Come to think of it, I've got a bottle of Black Star Farms ACapella ice wine in the fridge right now. Thanks for the reminder!

Buying it or drinking it?
It feels like I spend more time deciding which one to buy.

How expectations change, when we first arrived in Singapore we were horrified that a cheap drinkable bottle of wine was $20-30 (approx 15 of your currency) at the supermarket a good bottle started around $50. The minimum at a restaurant was $100 and went up rapidly.
Having returned to Oz the prices have become more reasonable
Quaffer approx $10
Good table wine $20
Special occasion $50
Restaurant $50
And these are generally old world wines as we find the Oz wines too sweet.

What do you mean, he endangers himself? I thought that 'No means no'. Equal rights in action, I would say. 
A gentleman, of course, would 'voluntarily' forget both the words 'equal' and 'rights', but I never really got why anyone would do that. That's why I'm probably not a gentleman and actually happy about it.
