What Is Your Favorite Wine Under $10 a Bottle
10/6/12 | randita

Posted on 10/06/2012 12:11:29 PM PDT by randita

I'm looking for some new wine to try but don't want to break the bank. I'm tired of the same old, same old that I always buy.

I know there are a lot of regional wineries which produce limited amounts of affordable wine, but it would be most helpful to have suggestions of wine that can be obtained nationally.

Thanks and cheers!

Red or white?

Dynamite makes some very good wines that are right up at the $10 level,

My wife really likes the Barefoot wines, her favorite is the Riesling

Smoking Loon. Always a good bottle.

I always loved an Aussie blended red wine called Stump Jump. I’m pretty sure it is a Shiraz blend. When I bought it back in Chicago it was around $10. Can’t find it in East Teaxs alas.

Real nice and a great value.

If you like red, try any Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, $9-15 a bottle. Italian, great with spaghetti or steak, even works as a pre-dinner wine. This wine wins tasting contests against more expensive wines all the time.

If you like white, may God have mercy on you.

actually, we should be more fair. i like a sweet wine, and red. that’s why i said livingston’s red rose’. others that i know like some of the “barefoot” wines. they are from down under.

since i am into mostly red wines, give us your preference so we can properly nail it down. i do not like dry wines at all, so i might not be able to help you.

blessings, bobo

I just got an email about inexpensive wines yesterday. This may give you some ideas. My favorite wine under $10.00 was a Ludovicus Terra Alta Pinol. I bought several bottles last year but I hace not seen it this year.

Alamos Malbec 2010 (Mendosa Argentina)

http://costcowineblog.com/2012/07/10/2011-alamos-mendoza-malbec.aspx

What a Mendoza Malbec bargain for only $7.99. I drank this one somewhat price-blind (I couldn’t remember what I paid for it) and would have definitely put it closer to $15. I just covered another Costco red $7 steal and didn’t think I’d find another one so quickly!

Are you looking for a local unpasturized or unbonded wine?
If it’s a wine from out of state or overseas it will be either of these. Where do you live? If in Texas, we have some wonderful wines. Some vineyards are close by and some a bit away, so it’s always a kind of holiday to try a new winery, somewhere. If you live in WA State, there are some very good wineries east and west of the mountains.

For years I worked in a big city ER which had many,many winos as “clients”.One day a wino came in,all but comatose,and we had to relieve him of his valuables (temporarily,of course).Among the things he had on his person was an empty bottle of cheap wine whose label boasted that the grapes used were grown in *Ohio*.I laughed for the rest of the shift...and for some time after that.

Pinecroft Cabernet or Merlot is a great value for around $5

It’s not in HEB? See if they can get it for you. Do you know the wine company? Barefoot or so?

I live in VA. I like semi-dry wine, either red or white.
