Greg, until recent times, and I am talking a couple of years back and maybe even these days, young affluent Chinese were mixing very expensive red French Bordeaux wines with Coke, so I guess some ice in wine is not that bad :-))

Go to any Barrel & Crate store, they usually have a nice selection at decent prices, you should be able to find something for $5 per stem. Try
http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=130&f=31655, either of the two on the bottom of the page. Buy 2 of each and taste from them side by side, see how shapes and volume make a difference. If you drink Pinot Noi, then Burgundy shape (bottom of page) is a "requirement" :-))
