Good, cheap red wine?

[noodleoo]

I'm hosting a girls' night on Friday.  I don't drink red wine, but all my friends do.  Any suggestions for a cheap, good red wine? (seriously, like under $10, I'm unemployed and don't want to spend a lot).

Fuzion and Mysterio.

I like Bohemian Highway's merlot or cab, and can find it for anywhere from $5-8 a bottle.

I don't know many red wines but a friend of mine's go to red wine, that I ended up really liking, is Banty Hill Red. It has a chicken on the bottle.

I really like this.  I think it's under 10.  Or right around there.

Do you have a Costco near you with a liquor store? You can shop there without a membership. They have a great wine selection and lots of affordable options.

I don’t know red wine. But do any of them like sparkling wine? Trader Joe’s has Almond Champagne for about $6 a bottle, and even my wine snobby friends think it’s tasty.

Stupid MA, grocery stores can't sell alcohol.  So no Trader Joe's, Costco or Target wine for me!   

I'll see if I can find the other suggestions at the liquor store.  I don't drink much, so I'm terrible at finding stuff!

You should be able to get Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon for under $10. It's good.

Apothic Red

I love Yellow Tail shiraz. I can find it anywhere, even CVS and Walgreens.

[miss.colorado]

Yellow Tail pinot noir

Thanks, guys! I'm going grocery shopping and then to the liquor store. I'll check this thread when I get there, so keep the suggestions coming!

Gnarly Head. I think their Zin and their Merlot are both under $10.

MN can't either.  The Costco liquor store is separate from their store. That's why you can shop without a membership.

Oh really?  I'll have to see if the Costco near us has a liquor store.  Thx!!

Apothic red blend. It's awesome. Pick it up at Wal Mart for $8.97 a bottle.

Oh wow it's 14.99 where I live.

charles shaw but put a different label over the charles shaw label. You could go through some of your fancier neighbors recycling to get good labels

I forget what brand it was, but the guy at the liquor store recommended a petit syrah to me and it was good. It was around $8.99/bottle. I had $15 that day and got that and a bottle of sauvignon blanc.

[SKP82]

Oh! And Apothic has a dark blend out that is awesome.

They don't sell wine at our grocery stores either

[youbetcha]

14 Hands Hot to Trot Red is good. I also like Gnarly Head Pinot Noir. I can usually find both of those for $9 around my area.

Cherry On Top sweet red blend

Lol. Recommendation without a recommendation.

I had something good.  No idea what it was.  Good luck finding it!

If you go to Costco, look for Cline Ancient Vine Zin. Also great and you can get it there for $10.49 a bottle ($15+ other places).
