Ridiculous advice (IMHO)

So I'm leafing through the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens before I toss it into the recycling bin and come across this gem from Patrick Mele on page 52:

Best way to spend $50 "A bottle of Brunello di Montalcino. You can't go wrong with a good bottle of wine!"

Clearly I am the wrong audience for this magazine. I have nothing against good wine but if I had a a spare $50 I'd put it toward repairing either of our cars.
