Dollar Store Wine

My roommate had a visitor who decided to bring a gift of several bottles of wine. He proudly told everyone that he bought them at the dollar store. He seemed somewhat surprised that the bottles were still full when he left. ("I was trying to impress everyone with my thriftiness.")

The wine was from Africa and the bottle said it had hints of "gooseberries, green figs and asparagus."

Yes, asparagus.

I don't know anything about wine but I still think something is wrong with that flavor combination.
