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."

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.

"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.
