Best Cheap Wine

winebook 90% of the wines bought in America are popular big brands that cost less than $15 a bottle.

How do you know what is good?

Do you want to be “good” at choosing wine, but don’t know where to begin?

Do you get distracted by the one with the cool Australian animals on the labels?

Good, Better, Best Wines: A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wines ranks the most popular big brand wines by grape variety and price point, up to $15 per bottle.

Wine expert Carolyn Evans Hammond ranks good, better and best big name wines under $5, $8, $11 and $15, for each major grape variety.

Good, Better, Best Wines: A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wines could also be named "The Fool Proof Guide To Good Cheap Wine", because it includes hundreds of bottle images so you can find them on the store shelf.

Realists will appreciate the jargon-free tasting notes. I used to work at a high-falutin’ coffee shop and was made to describe tastes with phrases like, "a full bodied brew with a lightly acidic aftertaste", as if I knew what that actually meant.

Want to entertain on the cheap? Good, Better, Best Wines: A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wines shines light on the subject with wine recommendations for specific occasions.

You even get sneaky trade secrets for getting the most out of each bottle.

The recommendations in Good, Better, Best Wines: A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wines are the widely-available, best-selling wines in the United States that you can find at the local store.

Go get your good, cheap wine on!
