Some people say they can’t get into wine because it’s too expensive. We say: Nonsense! There is astounding value to be discovered from wine regions around the world; you just need to know where to look.Every year, we round up the Top 100 Best Buys—a globe-spanning list of wines that overperform for their price point of $20 or under. It’s one of our favorite annual features because it’s so eye-opening for readers who might be stuck on the false notion that the more you spend on a bottle automatically makes it better.Think of it this way: There are five glasses in a bottle of wine. Math tells us that a glass from a bottle on this list, when bought at a store and enjoyed at home, will run you $4 or less. That’s four bucks for a glass of high-quality wine, perhaps from a region you don’t know you love yet. You can’t even get a latte for $4 these days. You probably have $4 in change in that drawer in your house where you keep bits and bobs. Any argument about good wine being cost prohibitive is absolute baloney, and this list proves it.Every bottle on this list is a superb value, and almost all of them received a score of 90 points or higher from our reviewers—you can’t go wrong. No matter if you’re a deep-pocketed wine collector or a curious beginner with only $20 to spend, there’s a wine here for you to discover.
