Savoring Wine (photo by Luis C. Tejo, courtesy of morguefile.com)

Seasoned wine lovers know the quality of a wine often bears little relation to its price tag. Expensive wines can be disappointing vintages from great wineries. Wines that haven’t achieved media recognition can be had at a price representing incredible value.

But with all the wines on the market, and seemingly endless introductions of more choices, finding those affordable wonders can be tough. Luckily for wine lovers, writer Eric Asimov of the New York Times arranged a tasting by wine aficionados and has written an article on their selections for the best wines for $10 or less.

As you’d expect, finding those wines was no easy task. Mr. Asimov says in his Wines of the Times article,

Frankly, the $10-and-under price range may represent the cheapest wines, but I feel the best values are in the $10-to-$20 range, where you can find sensational wines made by small producers using traditional techniques. These sorts of wines are much harder to find at $10 and under.
