The problem with a recommendation of wine X for the hostess gift is that stores stock different wines. It isn't like beer, especially at that range.
I would ask the wine store guy for his favorite bottle in the $25-30 range. Buy it for the hostess gift.
Then drive to a lower middle class neighborhood and go to a party store. Find a bottle of wine at $20. Find a dusty one. It will have gone bad after sitting there for 4 or 5 years. Get that for BIL.

You know, you all (okay, maybe me too) could probably start some passive-aggressive-gift-giving consultancy and make a mint.
