I'm looking for a good web site that presents a list of generally inexpensive, commonly-available wines - but it's harder than it sounds since I don't even know what i'm supposed to be tasting for, and I don't want it to be by a winery that pushes a certain label as an objective review.

Anyone got any links?

Inexpensive wine, by most standards, would be <= $15. Great sub-$10 deals can be had, but they can be hard to find. The best sub-$10 wine I've had in recent years was a Chianti by Da Vinci; it was $8.99.

I generally consider any bottle under $20 to be inexpensive, but thought it better to ask prior to making suggestions as many have alternate definitions of inexpensive.

In the interim, Wine Enthusiast offers a best value listing that runs the gamut of inexpensive ($4 - $20). Also some excellent suggestions in this thread.

Check out this Wine Blog by Professor Bainbridge, a conservative, UCLA corporate law professor :cool:, sometime. Every now and then he'll post a bargain.

As stated above, wine.com is good.

As for inexpensive, Yellow Tail all the way. Right around the 8.99 range. If you did a taste test between a $20 bottle and Yellow Tail you would notice the Yellow Tail is a little less smooth, but tastes just as good IMHO anyway.

Edit, Yellow Tail can be found at any grocery store (including wal-mart).
