It would help if you provided a price point to work with. My favorite runs about $1000 a bottle as futures. I'm guessing that's probably not what you are looking for.
My wine budget is about $100 per month. I am not ashamed to say that most of my wines cost less than $10 per bottle, and I find them highly drinkable. These are light reds, mostly Chiantis that I purchase from ALDI stores. They may not be the most complex, but they are dry, tart and delicious, perfect for sipping alone or with food. I also like the Italian Pinot Noir.
our budget is about like yours, so it is rare for us to buy a bottle over $10. I don't think you are the exception by anymeans...I will add we don't drink Chiantis, but not because we don't like it. As for Aldi's, unfortunately our Aldis doesn't sell wine cause the county has just gone wet. Hopefully they will soon carry it..We can go to Aldi's in Mo, but it is 30 miles and it just never enters our minds. We have heard, they have some far, cheap wines.
do you know there are some excellent boxed wines out there. No, I don't mean Franzia at $10 for 5 liters, but try some of the 3 liter boxes that run closer to $20 or $25?
I'm big into the old vine Zins right now. Seeing as how I live in the Zin capital of the world it makes it easy to try LOTS of smaller vintners that you won't find at Bevmo or Costco.
Yes! I just discovered Dornfelder! They had some recently at my beloved ALDI, but don't have it right now. I will be seeking it out again, however, we thought it was delicious!
mnita, hopefully your ALDI will start to stock some wine soon. Honestly, it is really the BEST place to buy decent wine for cheap. Some of the best wine I have ever had has come from this store, even though the selection is small. And they carry a pretty good Malbec and it is only $4.99! Between the wine and their great chocolate, about every other day either I or my husband will say, "God, I love ALDI!" LOL

OK, i didnt know that. Ill give them a try. Thank you.
My favorite "common" (i.e., I can go pick it up at any time) red wine is Justin Vinyards "Iscoceles" red blend. Great tasting free run red wine.
BevMo usually has it and Whole Foods always has it. About $60-$75 dollars per bottle depending on the year.
