14. Nine Bottles of Wine

Depending on the brand, an average bottle of wine was between 10 and 15 cents each in 1900, and plenty of people make their own homebrew. Just like today, there were luxury brands of wine that were more expensive. But for the most part, it was affordable for average people to get a drink. Today, you’re lucky if you can find a good $5 brand, and most are $10 each.
