My favorite is Gruner Veltliner from Hungary for 5.99 (OK it is a little over 5 dollars)

 

That Hungarian Grüner Veltliner is one I like, too.  I just picked up a few bottles and it is $4.99 at TJ's here in So Cal.  It's dry with a nice crisp acidity and I think it tastes a bit more interesting than some of the inexpensive sauv blancs that seem mostly like lemon-water.

TJ's is carrying some boxed Australian wines at $11.99/3 liters. I've only tried the Shiraz and it was drinkable although not terribly interesting.  I've recently been drinking some older bottles that I purchased at various winery visits over the years and was "saving for special."  I decided I was special enough to drink them but it does make younger, inexpensive wines seem lacking in contrast to the older bottles.

Scanning the bottom shelves, I picked up two $3.99 reds at TJ's that I've had in years past to see how they are.  I'll report back on them.
