Curiously enough, as a wine reviewer, you don’t really get to regularly taste many ‘value’ wines. Yes, some producers send the whole range in for review, but on the whole, it’s mainly a stream of premium products (that are likely to get premium scores, I guess).
Then again, I get to see an absolute shit tonne of value wines wearing my other hats, and working through brackets of $15 RRP wines tends to rob you of a love of wine anyway (and drive me to beer).
Maybe we’ll call it even.
Anyway, today I want to pull out a few wines that all sit below $25 RRP (and some a long way below) that are worth a second look – some of the value wines that have passed the desk lately I’d be happy to recommend. What’s even better about this selection is that there are plenty of widely available wines, covering winemakers big and small.
Let’s dive in.
