Robert Mondavi has a wonderful collection of wines in the $9-11 range that are wonderful. Each type and grape is excellent (fume blanc is a favorite for white, and cabernet for red).

My friend just had a wine tasting party last week. Each of six couples brought a bottle of wine that cost under $15. At the end of the night, we unveiled the winner: a bottle from Trader Joe's Charles Shaw (that's right, Two Buck Chuck). These inexpensive babies are definitely filled with taste and comparable to many wines.

For a sweet red try slightly chilled, Pindar Sweet Scarlett. Yum!

I really enjoy Ravenswood White Zinfadel. It's about 9 dollars.

by PG&KM on Jan 24, 2009

My "go to" wine when I want something inexpensive and light is Barefoot's Pinot Grigio. Trader Joe's usually has it for under $6. Great, easy to drink wine.

by happy_cat on Jan 25, 2009

Sutter Homes White Zinfadel- really cheap, one the sweeter side but just dry enough.

by HeatherMO on Jan 26, 2009

if you like really sweet wine like we do go with ohio wines. and if your in the NE area you can get some really great wines from wolf creek, troutmans, breitenbach and lonz! our favorite is Haut Sauterns by Lonz only $6 and by far my favorite!

by Buckskin_ridah on Jan 26, 2009

Martini & Rossi Asti White Label is awesome, and only about 13.00 a bottle for the smaller one. It's just the right balance of sweet and fruity, but not too dry.

by breanna_wms on Jan 29, 2009

This is a really great tasting Champagne. It's one of my favorites! For a sweeter taste- try Domaine St. Michelle Blanc de Blance!

by LoveANurse01 on Feb 09, 2009

Even if you don't like wine - you will LOVE Sutter Home's Moscato! It's got no bitterness or weird after taste to it and it's a great price! I'm not particularly a wine drinker due to the fact it seemed to dry up my mouth or just taste bad. I love this stuff! (Been known to polish off a bottle on my own!)

by missymae6 on Feb 09, 2009

Oliver wines are the best cheap wines. They have a red, rose and a white along with some honeywines that I have yet to try. They are all under $10. If you happen to go to south dakota and want good wine... try Prairie Berry, they have a really good strawberry honeywine.

by carissa_lin on Mar 02, 2009

I love the Soft Red Wine by Oliver. It taste like concord grapes and is only $6.99-$9.99 a bottle in most stores.

by mfleming2977 on Apr 07, 2009

Blackstone Wines are really great! Every varietal is made to taste as it should. They have a great, young winemaker named Gary - He ROCKS!! Try the Merlot or Chardonnay. They even make a great gewurztraminer!

by danicaroleo on Jun 25, 2009

I agree about Oliver. I think it is the highest quality I have ever encountered within that price range.

by zaogirlo5 on Jun 26, 2009

There is a great reisling called sterling castle they also make a gewuztraminer too and it is fab for 12 dollars a bottle. Also bearfoot makes great wines for cheap

by Weedenmj on Aug 20, 2009

My favorite is Yellowtail Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Merlot! Really good and under $15 for a big bottle!!

by Knechts on Nov 05, 2009

I love blackstone and robert mondavi wine. Merlot to be particular. But I recently tried a red wine called Menage Trois. It is REALLY good. Only costs $8 at costco and around $10-11 at other stores. It's a mix of merlot, cabarnet, and zinfandel. It's definately worth a try.

by Just_passing_by on Nov 17, 2009

My fav is called Relax reisling. Its in a great blue bottle with a screw cap! Its only about 9-10 bucks!!

by roodaje09 on Dec 17, 2009

There is an apple wine called Sweet Pea that we found at World Market. It's light, crisp, sweet and smells divine! Runs about $10 - $12 a bottle.

by snakey1219 on Jan 01, 2010

Mark West Pinot Noir is great! It was recommended by a co-worker and we just tried it last week.

by jben460867 on Feb 07, 2010

Mark West Pinot Noir is my go to wine for everyday. its you can find it for anywhere below $15 but BJ's usually has it for about $8

by smuchene on Mar 15, 2010

Mark West Pinot Noir is my go to wine!

by sillieae on Mar 16, 2010

Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut is a great sparkling wine(champagne)I do love the taste and it is not too dry. I am also dissappointed with the selection, here's a secret for you gals... My husband and I discovered a bottle called Stella Rosa it is in the Italy section of Bevmo and goes for $12, we love it and drink almost every weekend if we can get our hands on it. It is a slightly sweeter red( a cheaper version of Rosa Regale), not so bitter and it tastes amazing room temp. on a breezy night-enjoy!

by nicbcute on May 10, 2010

My husband and I enjoy a white called "Naked" - can usually find it at Costco and is under $10!

by MelBond612 on May 27, 2010

by iheartfriedmacs on Jun 16, 2010

by Mializ79 on Jul 08, 2010

My go to $10 wine is Moscato D'Asti Dulcis and my $6 go to is Texas Country Cellars Sweet Red! Very inexpensive but both have a great taste!

Avalon Cab Sauv is so good! It's one of my go-to wines in the $10-20 range.

by seuglem on Jul 19, 2010

Yum! I like the Sauv. Blanc by Quail Creek. It's $3.99 at Whole Foods! Talk about a bargin.

by Lnc0185 on Jul 19, 2010

I am in LOVE with Raven's Glenn "Chantilly Lace" -- perfect dessert wine and only about $10 a bottle!

by kdavis0711 on Aug 23, 2010

Sutterhome has a White Merlot that is really tasty

by LVasquez on Sep 14, 2010

by Redskinetgirl on Oct 06, 2010

My husband and I have become addicted to Barefoot brand wines.. and sparkling wines... they run like $6-$10 depends on type.. I personally love the Muscato.. Also Crown Valley Winery Wines are amazing.. personal favorites on the Riesling mixed with their Raspberry Wine..

by missbohannon on Oct 13, 2010

We had Charles Shaw at our wedding! Love it!!!

by Spaz2010 on Nov 07, 2010

Trader Joe's is the best! We did all our wine for the wedding with them and spent less than $300.00. We still have a ton leftover!

by Spaz2010 on Feb 09, 2011

Oliver wine is very good and has a pretty wide selection under $10. We love it!

by ashleedanae on Mar 10, 2011

Willamete Valley Vinyards always has really delicious choices for around $10. My favorite wine of all time is their Riesling, it has a perfect balance of sweet and acidic

by fudgenator on May 20, 2011

Ok, if you like sweet wine (yes, I'm seeing Barefoot's Muscato...) then you should really check out Duplin's wines: http://www.duplinwinery.com/ Ones I enjoy/like/tried- Reds: Carolina Red and Hatteras Red White: Magnolia and Scuppernong ( I REALLY want to try the Carlos!) Blush: Bald Head Red, Pink Magnolia, Scuppernong Blush Of course, I want to try the rest Duplin has to offer. And it might sound like a gimmack or really corny; but. These wines are perfect chilled, just alone, sitting out in the summer evening. No lie. :D

by Klfrierson on May 26, 2011

my go-to wine is Menage A Trois. Any of their wines are great. I love that the red and the blush especially.

by kmelaquel on Jun 21, 2011

My favorite is Cupcake brand wine. You MUST try the Red Velvet blend. It is life changing, especially if accompanied with dark chocolate. It normally runs about $15.00/bottle, but I've noticed that it goes on sale once or twice a month for about $8.00.

by athert3 on Nov 09, 2011

My go-to red for under $10 is an Organic red mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz from South Africa. It's called "Releaf". It's delish and rarely do you find an Organic wine for under $10!

by AAELPE on Nov 10, 2011

Layer Cake's Primitivo Fantastic! My husband and I had this wine at a fancy restaurant.. found it in the grocery store for $14! Great deal... Each sip in complex, and delicious! A must try!

by kyiamarie on Dec 01, 2011

Love wine and love to be able to save on it as long as its good wine!!

by Telly2012 on Dec 20, 2011

Thank you for this useful information! I am organizing a Hens Night on Saturday together with my best friends and we still have to buy some drinks. Most of us drink wine and my favorite is the Bourgogne Rose. I am glad to see that it is not expensive and I will definitely buy some bottles.

The thomas sabo usa upgrades you the new queen bee as well as a real princess. Ladies are jealous of you on the one particular hand but can't assistance turning back again to value you from the bottom of their heart on the alternative hand. They envy that you simply steal the display; they adore people for you personally are their goddess from the existing trend. The first-rate claret is overshadowed as well as the thomas sabo bracelet sale turns into tasteless meals in the grand get together. Nobody can distinguish it is Cartier luxuries you otherwise you flatters the well-known brand
