I really appreciated the gesture, because it was incredibly nice of them to even think of me, let alone buy something just out of generosity to me, but man that stuff is not very good.
I wouldn't serve the Charles Shaw to guests (probably just because it's so cheap and everyone knows it's so cheap), but I think it's just fine to drink at home. I don't know all that much about wine though. I don't taste a noticeable difference between it and other bottles that cost <$10. For example, something like Yellow-Tail, which seems to be the ubiquitous cheap wine, costs like $8 a bottle . Go ahead and make some jokes about getting ranch with it, or paper napkins.

Big House Red is not shabby for $5-6 per bottle
