2 Reds Under $12


Happy pre-Friday! Let's prematurely segue into the weekend with a couple of super affordable, perfectly delicious wines I've grown to rely on when I want something easy (and boozy) to drink.

 

Lupi Reali (mentioned last week) and Vigneti del Sole have become mainstays in our wine cupboards. (Yes, we have multiple designated areas for bottles. What can I say? The pandemic exacerbated my tendency to hoard.)

Both are unfussy Italian reds that cost under twelve dollars. They also taste great! Sweet flavor, rich color, heavy, but also pleasantly plain-tasting enough to not overshadow your meal. Perfect for low-key moments where opening something fancier would be overkill -- like when you're having leftovers for dinner, or paired with something fast and greasy like pizza.

I like grabbing a bottle of each whenever I'm at the SAQ. After trying them out for yourself, I suspect you might start doing the same -- just let me know if you do, so I can top up my stockpile before they sell out ;)
