So I had the idea for us to share our favourite wine. BBQ season is here and I am looking for something easy to drink. Not wanting to spend much more than $15 and less is welcome 
I can hardly remember what I used to drink as it was 2 1/2 years ago. I can remember liking Stoneleigh and Shingle Peak Sav Blanc and reisling. I see that they are around $25 I have noticed since not drinking for so long my tastes have changed going back to something more light and fruity. It is annoying to spend the $$ open the bottle and taste it then think yuk. So what do you like? |

This is one I've bought and thought was good recently
Banrock Station - Moscato frizzante - fruity slight bubble best quite cold. Love that its liter in alcohol as am out of practice and feel the effects pretty quick now. Its also under $10! |

Countdown/Foodtown had Nikau Point Syrah on special for weeks at between $7.99 and $9.99, and it is beautiful. Unfortunately it's back up to about $18 now, but I'll be on the lookout for it to come back on special! ------------- Lou http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

| What a great thread. I never want to pay more than $15 (and preferably less) for a bottle of wine. I quite like the Lindaur sparkling pinot gris but I might try your suggestion Jules. That Moscato sounds like my sort of thing! Actually so does the Nikau Point Syrah! |

I may be showing my lack of class here, but for bubbly I think it can be hard to go past Lindauer - esp when some of the nicer ones like the blanc de blanc are on special. I also quite liked the lindauer sav which you could always pick up somewhere for $9.95.
I also quite like The Ned sav blanc which you can pick up for under $15 when it's on special. |

I recommend:
From Australia: Banrock station, or Wynns. From France: La Châsse, but if you want light and fruity it should be an Italian Chianti but that is probably more than $15. Lis -------------- Love my boy :) and love http://mystrolleraccessories.com - strolling |

I love the 2010 (and 2008 but you cant get it) Villa Maria Gewurtztraminer. Pak n Save has had it on special for $14 a few times. The 2010 Pinot Gris from Villa Maria is another favourite of ours.
@jules1980, that Muscato is good huh? I do find I end up drinking more of it since its so easy to drink though! If anyone (particularly Aucklanders) is into Port, Mazurans on Lincoln road does some really nice ones. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

see here i was thinking i would be able to rattle off a huge list (i love wine but am a complete tightarse 90% of the time ) but apparently not drinking for 4 months has wiped my memory 
so all i can come up with is the Mudhouse Sav Blanc or Pinot Gris! fab thread though - will have to check back in here next year for some ideas! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Oh man I'm such a wine snob. I can't even remember the last time I brought a bottle under $15.
Although I do have a bottle of Waipara Reisling that I think I saw on sale in countdown for under $15. Very drinkable! I blame my in-laws they are far to into good wine for my good. -------------

i LOVE Brown Brothers Moscato Rosa, i'm not a big wine drinker but this is just sooooo moreish!! And I think its usually on special for around $13 (although it has been like 2 years since I bought any so it may have changed in price since then ) ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Man alive, I miss wine so so bad. I'd drink any old cheap plonk now, if I could. (Still has to be a sav though. Strictly no chardonnay!) -------------  Started TTC Apr 2008 With PCOS and a bicornuate uterus Our angel babies Jan 2010 <3 Oct 2010 <3 Apr 2011 <3 |

I love St Clair, pretty much anything from them is great, but they do a great sav bubbly which was on special at New World for $10,
I also love Wither Hills Sav which is over $15 but often on Special. My trick is to pick something that normally retails for over $15 but is on special for under then you know you are getting a good one. ------------- http://www.alterna-tickers.com">
