What red wine would you suggest for cooking that's less than $10 a bottle?

I don't know much about wine, but I like to use it when I'm cooking, mainly for sauces. I don't want to spend a lot, $10 max, and something easily accessibly that I could pick up at the grocery store (or Costco) would be great.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00

My favorite budget wine is Barefoot Cellars from Lodi, California. They have four lovely reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Shiraz, and Merlot. For cooking, I love the Zinfandel. And, get this - they're all under $5 a bottle! Most liquor stores and many grocery stores carry it.

Here's what Barefoot says about the Zin: "Full-bodied with rich notes of ruby red fruit such as ripe cherries and wild raspberries our Lodi Zinfandel will never be called a wallflower. It stands out in a crowd. Well-balanced and smooth, it delivers a deep, fruit-filled aroma and a subtly spicy and long-lasting finish."

Enjoy and Mahalo!

I drink wine, but have only cooked with it a few times, and don't remember what I used(probably something different every time). My favorite cheap red wine is Carlo Rossi Merlot or Sangria. At Cub Foods liquor store in Minnesota, it's about $8.99 for a 1.5 liter jug. The cheapest wine I've drank besides for MD20/20, is Livingston Chianti, for like, $5.99, then Gallo Family Merlot is around the same price(all 1.5 liters). I see no reason why those wouldn't be adequate for cooking. If your taste is like mine, I prefer wine that is an equal combination of sweet and bitter, which is what I also think of, as ideal for cooking as well. So, ultimately, that would be Carlo Rossi (Sangria or Merlot). (Look for the jugs; Carlo Rossi is bottled in distinctive looking jugs)

My local Aldi carries cheap wines I use for cooking. I recently bought a "Winking Owl" white wine for $3.49, and the roast tasted great. I'd check if you have an Aldi in town, and go with what they have.

I have been reading this wine blog all about cheap wines and I recently tried one out that I think they might be able to ship to you. You can read the review of the wine at this page. It only cost me 5 dollars and it tasted great, so I think it would work well for your cooking purposes.

If you want to order the wine, here is the contact information for the winery.

Cooking with wine can be expensive so I use Charles Shaw also known as Two Buck Chuck. It's nickname comes from the fact that it only costs about $2 per bottle. Not only is it extremely affordable but I find that it works just as well with my recipes as the more expensive wines.

You can find it at Trader Joe's.
