A tasty bottle of wine doesn’t always have to strain your wallet. There’s great value to be found around the world, with many wine regions producing quality pours at incredible bargains. And by that, we mean priced at $10 or less a bottle.
Countries like Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand and South Africa are already known for pumping out delicious, yet well-priced, everyday wines. But even regions with a more premium vibe, like California, Italy and France, offer value options as well. Here’s how to spot a good-value bottle: Look for broad, region-wide appellations instead of the geographically smaller, more focused ones. For example, instead of Napa Cab, seek out a California AVA red. Similarly, if Chianti Classico is a bit too pricy, but you still want Sangiovese, look for reds labeled Toscana IGT.
Certainly, you have plenty of options from which to choose. From racy, herbal Sauvignon Blanc to plush Chardonnay and full-bodied reds, here are 11 bottles from around the world priced at $10 or less.
