WinesDiscuss, Favorite cheap wine? at Alcohol Reviews forum; I usually get ecco domini if im going to drink wine.. I think it tastes the best out of all ...
These two stick out in my mind... I don't have that much experience with wine. Pretty freakin cheap though.
Everything I've ever had from Yellow Tail is pretty damn good, especially considering the price. I guess my least favorite was the Shiraz Grenache, but it wasn't terrible.
Sutter Home White Zinfandel is my favourite cheap whine. I've found it numerous places for $8 for a 1.5L bottle. I recently tried Beringer White Merlot and it's also pretty good, barely more expensive than the Sutter Home stuff.
One of the girls I am dating brought over a few bottles of Matin & Weyrich, Moscato Allegro. I am not much of a wine drinker, but that s*** was damn good. We ended up drinking 3 bottle of it.
I like the Charles Shaw Cabernet from Trader Joe's - "2 buck chuck," the other variants offered (Chardonnay and Merlot) are less impressive. Usually around 2.99 at any Trader Joe's, which has a number of great and inexpensive wines. I'm also a fan of Little Penguin Merlot, which is a great and surprising merlot with strong fruit and vanilla bean hints; it retails for 4.00 to 7.00 here.
Finally, my favorite inexpensive wine is the entire line of Papio. Papio wines are great in taste, very fruity, very smooth - their bouquet is also very balanced and complex for a "cheap" wine. They make a cab sauv, pinot grigio, merlot, and chardonnay - all of which are amazing. Retails anywhere from 3 to 8 dollars here depending on where one shops, and alot of that money is shared with the African Wildlife Foundation. You should all check out their website, very lighthearted. Papio Wines - Age Verification

I'm a huge fan of both their merlot and cabernet sauvignon. It's definitely one of the better "cheap" brands. I consider anything under $15 to be pretty damn cheap, so I'll lump another favorite in - Chateau Ste. Michelle...I enjoy their cabernet sauvignon as well.
It doesn't get any better than two-buck chuck (now more like three-buck chuck) if you want cheap wine that is still decent. Charles Shaw is sold at Trader Joe's and I don't know how it can be that cheap and still be decent, but it is.
Go look at my list of wines in my thread for the 2 cases I ordered. The NON-Reserve Mondavi is what I would consider "cheap" yet good, like I suggested.

I'm three-buck-chucking it right now. Charles Shaw Chardonnay.
Carlo Rossi Burgundy. I hate they way Sams club just pushes that awful sweet paisano and sangria. They used to carry a beautiful Almaden Merlot, but stopped, why?
If I'm going for cheap of the cheap, nothing like a good jug of something from Carlo Rossi, Almaden or Livingston line up. However I've strayed from Almaden as I no longer receive shipments in the glass jug, but in a box and am told bottles will be no more. For some reason the glass jug brings back the memories of jacking a bottle from moms cased jug wine stash and running it out to the tree house with my buddies at about 10 or 11 years old.
Reasonable priced, I enjoy Woodbridge Shiraz but I've actually discovered a really great reasonably price Cab called Dreamboat. Right now my store has instant $5.00 coupons for the stuff. Napa Valley Cabernet in a 1.5L for $12.99 (after coupon) is a f***ing steal if you ask me.
