Red Wines Under $25

A red for every dinner under $25

This price range covers the full spread of everyday red wine styles. Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec bring weight and tannin for grilled meat; Merlot and red blends are softer for roast chicken and pasta; Pinot Noir is the light, silky choice for salmon and mushroom dishes. Italian and Spanish reds — Chianti, Montepulciano, Rioja, Garnacha — add acidity and earth that flatter tomato sauces.

Verified markdowns are listed first, then the highest critic scores, so the top of the page is the best place to start.
