Top red wines under $30
by James Halliday
22 Oct, 2019
West and South Australian wine regions dominate this field, and these red wines deliver exceptional value for money. Perfect for catering to crowds this festive season or a weekday wine that won’t break the bank, these are James Halliday’s picks for this year’s top red wines.
“It’s very difficult to deny that this selection of red wines represents the best value for money of this year’s Top 100. There is more demand for the best quality red wines, regardless of price, coming from China, and less demand for these very good wines.”
The following wines were chosen from a total of 209 submitted.
