I wouldn't make the mistake of mixing cheap with value. What you value might just be cheap but more often then not it is a bargain.

The first time I drank with a multi millionaire we were having a jammy value buy called Seven Deadly Zins and Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Those two data points were his sessionable bargain buys and I loved the taste too.

Personally, I have also enjoyed a bottle of Opus One but later on discovered those same taste characteristics in a Spanish Garnacha blend I believe to be re labeled as Atteca. I should have bought a case of that stuff it was an amazing find and had legs for days.

My findings are that below a tenner is cheap stuff waiting to become a vinaigrette of regret in form of buyers remorse. Around the 14usd mark is where value van be found. Such as Trader Joe's seasonal reserve offering they put out for New Years. When a vintner puts their name on the offering and takes the care to select the best grapes of the season then you can taste the bargain.
