If you're looking for bang for your buck, these 27 wines deliver. Priced between $14 and $20, and rated 'outstanding', 'highly recommended' or 'recommended' by the Tasting Team, we've put together a mix of red, white and rosé wines that won't cost more than a lobster.
For the white wine drinkers, we've got the reliable riesling, pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc (including SB and semillon blends), and, of course, chardonnay. For the year-round red wine fanatics, you're looking at pinot noir – note the $20 Hoddles Creek pinot that Philip Rich rated 95 points – there's tempranillo, cabernet (and blends), malbec, merlot, and we can't forget the examples of shiraz from Vasse Felix, 3 Rings and Mr Mick.
Don't forget the Halliday Virtual Cellar allows you to track drinking windows; sort wine by the 'drink by' date to make sure you don't miss peak drinking windows.
Only the Halliday Australian Vintage Chart breaks down Australian vintages across the wine regions for the last 30 years. Discover our state-specific vintage guides here.
