6 Affordable Red Wines I’d Buy If I Were Starting Again

Building a great wine cellar isn’t just about rare bottles.

It’s about having wines you’ll actually want to open.

In this video, I share six affordable red wines that continue to earn a place in my cellar after decades of collecting. These are bottles that overdeliver for the price—perfect for weekday dinners, sharing with friends, or discovering new regions without spending a fortune.

We’ll explore wines from France, Italy, Spain and South Africa, covering Grenache, Syrah, Gamay, Sangiovese and Tempranillo, plus one excellent Bordeaux bonus bottle.

If you’re looking for everyday red wines with genuine character and ageing potential, these are bottles I would happily buy again.
