". . . you can drink it every day . . ."

I'm on the LCBO Vintages mailing list, so I get notices of new offers, new releases, and so on. Today's mailing was of some minor amusement. This issue is about a special release of wines from Château Calon-Ségur, and came with the approval of no less a wine celebrity than Johnny Depp:

It's a marvellous wine that you can drink every day and it's also very affordable.
Johnny Depp, quoted in Madame Figaro Magazine, Dec. 2005

Of course, luminaries like Mr. Depp have deeper pockets than most of us: the cheapest wine in this offering is $52, and they range up to $1,625.00 (admittedly, that's for a seriously oversize bottle: 5 litres).
