Best cheap wines: 13 award-winning supermarket wines under £10
The best bargain wines for 2023 from Tesco, Morrisons, Aldi, Iceland and more...
Looking for the best cheap wines to buy online? We've done the research and rounded up the budget-friendly buys you need to know about.
Whether you're after red, white, or rose, a bottle of bubbly or even the best non-alcoholic wine - we've got you covered, compiling the best Aldi wine, Tesco, and Morrisons. Alongside some of the best Lidl wine offers too. All of the wines in this collection are £10 or under. They may be cheap but that doesn't mean they lack in quality, taste, or body. All of these bottles are award-winners varying from IWC 2021 Awards, IWSC, and Decanter World Wine Awards.
"Choosing a cheaper bottle of wine with an award is a good starting point. Look out for bottles with stickers from reputable awards, such as the International Wine Challenge and the Decanter World Wine Awards. Both have websites with wines in all price categories," says Melanie Leyshon, WSET-qualified wine writer.
"For these awards, the wines will have been blind-tasted by wine-trained judges, such as sommeliers, Masters of Wine, and other wine professionals. These judges will be skilled in assessing whether a wine is balanced and worth buying whatever the price – they will score by aroma, flavour, acid, tannin of red wine, body, and finish. It’s a systematic approach that takes skill to learn but helps judges objectively identify well-balanced wines, from cheap to the most expensive."

Why you can trust GoodtoKnow.
1. Morrisons Soave
RRP: £4.99 | Award: International Wine Challenge 2021 Silver Wine Winner
This suave Soave is one of the best cheap wines you need to know about. The £4.35 bottle of white sold by Morrisons earnt a silver commendation at the 2021 International Wine Challenge, boasting a higher rating from critics than bottles sold for six times the price.
2. Tesco Finest Prosecco Doc 75cl
RRP: £8.50 | Award: IWSC Bronze 2022
There's plenty to celebrate with this bottle of fizz - especially when it's available for a rather reasonable £8.50 a bottle. Not only did it receive a bronze 2022 IWSC badge, but some Teso shoppers are claiming this Prosecco "puts some champagne to shame". In that case - we'll be racing you to the checkout.
3. Morrisons The Best Pinotage
RRP: £7.50 | Award: 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards Gold
This Morrison's own Pinotage is definitely one of the best cheap wines on the shelves. This £7.50 beauty is the only red out of 49 wines to score gold at the 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards. And all whilst beating rivals that cost nearly ten times the price.
4. Castellore Organico Organic Prosecco 75cl
RRP: £7.99 | Award: International Wine Challenge 2021 Winner Commended
The eco-friendly fizz first picked up a commendation from the IWC in 2019. This year though, the organic Prosecco secured a silver medal for its silky, sparkling pear and green apple taste. Grown with no pesticides or herbicides in a vineyard just 30km north-east of Venice, it’s a real clean fizz and a steal at £7.99 a bottle.
5. Tesco Finest Pinot Grigio Blush
RRP: £7 | Award: IWSC Silver 2022
"Deliciously light and very glugable. No bitter after-taste," one Tesco customer wrote about this particular bottle of Pinot Grigio Blush. Part of the supermarket's finest range for a reason, this crisp and peachy Italian rose picked up a commendable silver at the 2022 IWSC. And we can't resist a bottle or two at this brilliant price.
6. Wairau Cove Rose
RRP: £7.50 | Award: International Wine Challenge 2021 Bronze Winner
This bronze IWC 2021 award-winning rose is worth popping into stores for, especially when available at £7.50 a bottle. A fruity offering that goes well with fish, it's certainly caused a stir online. "This wine is delicious," wrote one satisfied Tesco shopper. "A medium dry rose, perfect flavour, not too sweet, nor too dry and vinegary. I have tried all the other rose wines on the Tesco website that are of similar price and this is definitely the best!"
7. Trivento Reserve Malbec
RRP: £8.25 | Award: Tim Atkin MW Best of Argentina 2020
This bright crimson red is one of the best cheap wines in Iceland, with £8.25 a bottle a pretty price to pay for this award-winner. Master of Wine Tim Atkin singled this out in his Best of Argentina wine report in 2020. And we're sure it's because - like us - he couldn't get enough of the velvety plum and vanilla notes that beautifully align whilst left to age for 6 months in a barrel.
8. Winemaker's Selection Marlborough Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc
RRP: £8.99 | Award: IWSC Bronze 2020
Lidl’s Winemaker’s Selection range also features this very reasonably priced sparkling Sauvignon Blanc. Reviewers love this IWSC 2020 bronze medal winner thanks to its floral aromas - typical of a Marlborough Sauvignon - teamed with some refreshing bubbles.
9. M&S Coteaux Varois En Provence
RRP: £10.50 | Award: International Wine Challenge 2021 Bronze
This wine may be 50p over budget but is well worth it. This exquisite dry rose is one of the best cheap wines at Marks and Spencers and can be picked up online via Ocado. The 2021 bronze winner originates from France's Provence wine region - known for producing some of the finest dry roses around. And M&S shoppers have been lavishing it with praise on the website.
10. Morrisons The Best Prosecco Doc
RRP: £9 | Award: International Wine Challenge 2021 Bronze
A bottle of bubbly for £9? Yes, they do exist and taste amazing for the price - with this bottle of Morrisons Prosecco earning a bronze IWC 2021 awards. "Dry, crisp, with fine intense bubbles. It doesn't leave me with a headache afterward," wrote one Morrisons reviewer. "Not too sweet. Would heartily recommend it. Thank you, Morrisons."
11. Maison de la Rougerie Brut Crémant de Bordeaux
RRP: £9 | Award: 2020 Berliner Wine Trophy award
Classy, crisp, and satisfyingly cheap. This Cremant de Bordeaux at Iceland has earnt its place on our best cheap wines round-up for these significant reasons. This is probably why it was singled out at the 2020 Berliner Wine Trophy awards. All we know is that it tastes great and Iceland reviewers seem to agree.
12. Castellore Organico Organic Prosecco Rosé Extra Dry 75cl
RRP: £8.79 | Award: International Wine Challenge 2021 Bronze
An elegant rose with a hint of citrus, floral notes, and wild strawberries. A bargain at just £8.49 this bottle of organic Prosecco is certainly one for sharing. A refreshing, crisp wine - perfect for enjoying in the summer months. A popular fruity prosecco.
13. The Great Wave Sauvignon Blanc
RRP: £7 | Award: International Wine Challenge 2021 Silver
This Sauvignon Blanc has zesty notes of lime and tropical fruit with a fresh, vibrant flavour and taste. Rated highly among Ocado shoppers, this wine has been described as good value, nice and crisp, perfect for special occasions. A smooth wine ideal for sharing.
