When affordability is a priority, there are still appetizing wines to be found. The key is shopping wisely
It’s a little-known, and completely useless, fact that I published my first piece of wine criticism back in university.
To narrow down the universe, I also drew the line at wines available only in large formats, such as double-bottle magnums and multilitre bag-in-box cartons. I’m the kind of guy who thinks cheap bathroom tissue isn’t such a great deal if you must commit to buying 400 rolls at a time at one of those club-membership stores.
The selections below represent the better half of what I sampled, though they don’t include a new and popular Spanish red released in Ontario called Toro Bravo, which I ranked 87 and costs $7.95. It’s omitted here because it’s currently sold out.
