Let's get a list of decent wines going. I recently branched out and tried something new and it was disgusting. So, hoping to avoid that, here we are. I drink mostly merlot, so that's what I can recommend. All of these are less than $15, usually closer to $10-12.

• Red Rock
  
• Toasted Head
  
• Red Diamond
  
• Ravenswood
  

 

cheap white zinfandel for me, i get the big bottles, i occasionally drink alcohol to lower my glucose levels so its win/win.

 

Twin Vines Vinho Verde. Not sweet, with a little bit of fizz and a 9% alcohol content, so not to strong. Drinks by itself nicely! Along the lines of good cheap whites, Kono is another good one. Grapefruit flavor out of New Zealand. Delicious!
