Wine Tips

Via The Consumerist, here are some tips on the best wines under $10 from the Dr. Vino blog .

 

Why is it only a list of nine wines under $10 instead of the usual ten under ten? Because I'm grumpy. It's increasingly difficult to find good wines with character under ten dollars. Blame part of it on the weak dollar (though my list here is heavy on eurozone wines), blame it on producer greed–they're all just excuses! Good wines, easy on the palate and on the wallet are what consumers want. Sure, there are lots of great wines for $12-$15 and many more from $15 - 20, but these are out of reach for a lot of people to have with dinner on a given Tuesday. Producers take note of this market opening, ready to be filled! Meanwhile, we can fill up our wine storage areas with this value vino.

No one with a wine storage area should be grumpy.
