Wines Under £30

Properly interesting wines that happen to cost under £30.

There is a misconception that you need to spend serious money to drink well. You do not, but you do need to buy from the right place. At Taste of the Vines, every bottle under £30 has been chosen on the same criteria as the fine wines: it has to have real character and taste like something you will remember.

What you will not find here are commodity bottles bought on volume and sold on price alone. These are wines that happen to be affordable, not wines that were selected because they were cheap. Stock the rack for the week or dip a toe into something new: this is a good place to start.
