And it's owned not by some blue-blooded purveyor of high-end reds but by Fred Franzia, famous for Two Buck Chuck and the ten bucks taboo, as in: No wine is worth more than $10.

The price of the popular "Two Buck Chuck" wine is no longer only two bucks.
The grocery chain Trader Joe's has raised the price from $1.99 to $2.49.
The famous Charles Shaw wine was introduced in 2002.
Though the price varies from state to state, it has stayed at two bucks in California for years.
Traders Joe's says it had no choice but to raise the price due to increased costs.
