Budget-friendly wines: 38 under $30 (and all scored 90 or above)

When hunting down a great bottle of wine, you really don’t need to spend big. Yes, some of the best Australian wines do require a proper investment, but there are stacks of wines under $30 that are absolutely worth buying — especially if you’re after an easy mid-week drop to pair with dinner or to sip on while you’re spending the night watching tele.

Frustratingly, finding a good wine on the lower end of the price spectrum can be tough — with plenty of bad drops exisiting within such a space. That’s why we’ve teamed up with a bunch of Australian and New Zealand wineries to bring you this list of 38 genuinely great-tasting wines that’ll cost you $30 or less (all rated 90 points or above by our Tasting Team). Find them here.
