These 21 Cheap Wines *Taste* Hella Expensive, So Your Dinner Party Guests Will Be None the Wiser

This perfectly bubbly cava is worth savoring every sip...but costs so little you won't mind if you spray a tad more than expected during a boozy celebration.

This fruit-forward—not to mention certified organic—vino is the crème de la crème of French rosés. Your next beach trip needs a bottle (or three, if we're being totally honest). Cheers, bb.

Stuck inside on a cold day but rather be at ze beach? Transport yourself with a glass of this rosé, which will have you forgetting all responsibilities and immediately feeling the sand between your toes.

For those who douse everything in hot sauce, why not try upping the heat in your alcohol? You won't get a mild, medium, or spicy option with this one, but the subtle spice notes will def come through.

No lie, I look for this bottle of sauv blanc on every wine list (it's juuust dry enough for people who don't do sweet wines). Yeah, I'm a cheap date, what's it to you?

If all of your friends have different tastes, don't worry. This Riesling will keep everyone happy, because it isn't too sweet or too dry. And, thanks to the price tag, you can buy a couple of bottles before you host the next happy hour (or happy hour disguised as a book club meeting, let's be real).

When the great outdoors becomes scorching hot, sipping on a chilled glass of this crisp white wine is the perfect way to cool off. I'm also doing a happy dance just thinking about the fact that the twist-off cap means I won't have to struggle with a corkscrew.

What's that you taste? The coast of Spain? No, it's just this Spanish wine, which has sweet notes of ripe fruits, vanilla, and a little spice.

I mean…it’s a grocery store classic for a reason: crisp with some slight citrusy notes, and under $14. Dare I call it coastal grandmother chic?

This Sicilian Syrah is bursting with notes of red fruits and chocolate...yum. Trust me when I say this isn't your typical boxed wine—it's so much better. It's also the equivalent of four bottles, so you can consider it to be about $10 a pop. Issa deal!

I mean...have you ever seen a more perfect bottle of sweet sparking rosé for a bachelorette or engagement party? Let me answer that: no. And the bride will never know you spent basically nothing on it!

If it was possible to put summer into a bottle, it would definitely be inside this one. It's bursting with tropical notes, from grapefruit to pineapple to mango.

If you love day drinking but hate the inevitable 4 p.m. hangover (same), this low-ABV wine—which clocks in at just 9%—is perfect for sunny afternoon sipping. And in case you're wondering what "vinho verde" tastes like...it's giving pinot grigio vibes.

Okay, okay, okay. I know what you're thinking. Sweet peach + sparkling wine soooounds like a headache waiting to happen. But I swear it's not. And it's incredibly refreshing and delicious—especially on a hot summer day.

This Cali red has two of my favorite characteristics: smooth and super easy on the wallet. I mean, eight freakin' dollars, people!

All my people who physically cannot skip dessert...this one's for you. The bright chardonnay, with peach notes, is said to have a crème brûlée finish. You know, according to experts who can allegedly detect such things. Either way, it’s tasty.

If the name takes you right back to high school concerts, that’s because Dave Matthews himself is behind this fresh sip, which has crisp hints of grapefruit, pineapple, and lime.

Tbh, the cute bow on this label is enough of a reason to make this your new go-to rosé. But if you need another excuse, the nods to watermelon, raspberries, and strawberries in the flavor profile don’t hurt. (Yeah, I said “flavor profile.”)

If you like your white wine crisp, dry, and with a fancy French name that makes it look like you spent more money than you did, this bottle should do the trick.

The cute lil chicken on the label only heightens the farmhouse vibes of this hearty, fruity red. The taste is just as rustic and refined as the packaging.
