**mirroredfire** · July 26th, 2006, 03:21 AM

I usually get ecco domini if im going to drink wine.. I think it tastes the best out of all the cheap wines

**Nick** · July 26th, 2006, 03:22 AM

The last bottle I bought was "Blue Fish" riesling. I thought it was good.

I think it was around $10...

Vin Rose made by Carlo Rossi. We call it Vin Diesel because it gets you pretty tipsy with two large cups of it

Beringer White Zinfandel, I love the way this stuff tastes. $6.00 a bottle is a steal too.

**Witchy** · July 26th, 2006, 06:40 PM

My fav... i drink this just about everynight..

**ChillPhatCat** · July 27th, 2006, 07:42 PM

Yellow Tail Chardonnay
Yellow Tail Shiraz

These two stick out in my mind... I don't have that much experience with wine. Pretty freakin cheap though.

**Witchy** · July 27th, 2006, 09:06 PM

I got this last night and I'm on my first glass of it (time to chill) and it's really good. only 7.99 but not a bad flavor

**Knockerz02** · August 11th, 2006, 08:28 PM

Columbia Crest Cabernet is very good as well and cheap....about $10

That's good and so is the Sutter House. Jewel (grocery store) has it 2 for $7. Can't go wrong.

**Demon** · August 20th, 2006, 01:35 PM

Last lower price bottle I bought was Voga Pinot Gritio. I believe I paid $13, definately enjoyed it.

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.

Overall, the value is great.

**donovan1983** · November 22nd, 2006, 01:00 AM

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.

**BlackDemon** · November 27th, 2006, 01:00 AM

**SpeedsterZ28** · December 9th, 2006, 02:29 PM

Good stuff and pretty cheap.

I like that and this stuff we have at the house, Vendage? Maybe? Something like that.

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.

whatever's cheapest and reddest

**Evinissent Cum Guinness** · February 3rd, 2007, 05:21 AM

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.

**Evinissent Cum Guinness** · February 17th, 2007, 11:03 PM

I haven't tried it, should hunt it down mayhaps.

**adragster7104** · February 21st, 2007, 11:44 PM

Castle Rock Cabernet.......damn cheap and pretty good.

Also La Crema for a Chard

**rsyb** · February 23rd, 2007, 04:47 PM

Bonny Doon Big House Red.

https://www.bonnydoonvineyard.com/

Can usually find for $7.95 to $8.95.

**RebelRoss0587** · February 28th, 2007, 12:39 PM

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.

just bought some austrailian cheapo wine for like 8 bucks... jacobs something or other

not bad

**Mad Martigan** · March 13th, 2007, 10:15 PM

I'm enjoying a nice $5 bottle of Black Swan shiraz as I type.

**Ron Burgundy** · June 10th, 2007, 05:58 PM

nothing beats boxed wine.

**Potent68** · June 22nd, 2007, 03:28 PM

Robert Mondavi - Cabernet Sauvignon

From Safeway it's usually between $15 - $25.

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.

Sorry, I don't do boxed wine.

Tom

**Anthony** · June 29th, 2007, 11:44 AM

Regardless of what you may consider cheap, in the grand scheme of things $15-25 is not really 'cheap' wine.

**Firebird Lady** · July 12th, 2007, 02:14 PM

I bought my boyfriend a bottle of Big Ass, I think it was the merlot. It had a big kangaroo on the front and was like $7. He said it was really good.

I also like Toasted Head and Bella Sera. I only drink reds though.

**Jamie** · July 21st, 2007, 08:16 AM

Either Woodbridge or Beringer White Zinfandel. I've never been a fan of Sutter Home.

Lately, the Ernster and I have been drinking a lot of Mead. It's about $9 a bottle from the Farmer's Market.

**Pillamyd** · July 23rd, 2007, 09:38 PM

Franzia. any assortment.

I'm three-buck-chucking it right now. Charles Shaw Chardonnay.

**VIDEODROME** · November 1st, 2007, 08:05 PM

Bella Sera

**ltomaselli** · November 3rd, 2007, 08:04 AM

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?

**VIDEODROME** · March 19th, 2008, 04:28 AM

**Recklesss** · March 24th, 2008, 11:46 AM

Charles Shaw

Or "Two Buck Chuck" as it is so lovingly known as (i think the price is $3 nowadays)

I think its a west coast thing, its shockingly good wine for 3 bucks. It is one of the better wines, on par with current Sterling

People buy this stuff in BOXES because its sooooo good and soooo cheap

**Kris** · April 13th, 2008, 12:45 PM

My favorite at the moment is Fetzer Riesling... It's delicious.

**Imperator** · July 8th, 2008, 01:41 PM

Wow @ the responses of Riesling, Lambrusco and White Zinfakedel

My inexpensive favorites:

Mark West Pinot Noir
Coppola Claret
Los Vascos Cab
Rancho Zabaco Zin
Bogle Old Vine Zin
Rosenblum Vinters Cuvee
KJ Chardonnay
Toasted Head Chardonnay

**grandpagametight** · July 16th, 2008, 01:59 PM

Gazela Vino Verde

Chill it down in your fridge...

Slam it down your throat!!

**Andre** · October 7th, 2008, 09:29 PM

I love this wine called Garnacha de Fuego. It's like $8 a bottle and it's awesome.

**Johnny** · October 14th, 2008, 02:03 AM

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.
