These highly rated Australian red wines under $30 are for those wanting budget-friendly bottles that still taste superb.

This past year, the Halliday Tasting Team has reviewed over 8000 wines from 945 wineries across 60 Australian wine regions – discovering which wines are, in fact, the country's very best. And while many of the top bottles come with a high price tag, it certainly isn't always the case. In fact, there are a slew of wines rated highly by the tasters, which will cost you less than $30.

These drops are for those wanting budget-friendly bottles that still taste superb. Find below, a list of the 30 best red wines under $30 – covering a wide range of grape varieties and Australian wine regions.
