There is a great Spanish wine called "Rioja" which is as good as or better than most of the French Bordeaus. You can get it at any liquor store or wine store for about $10-15. We have been drinking it for some time because it is good and cheaper than the French Wines. Try it I'm sure you will enjoy.

Try an Argentinian Malbec. Not French and really affordable.
