Okay, now it's time for my favorite cheap red wine list for 2006.

Obviously, I'm a little bias generally speaking when you compare red to white wine. For me, I just have taste buds that like red. In fact, I probably am opposite of most people who prefer red with food and white without.

If I'm eating something like fish or seafood, which is a staple in my diet, then white makes sense to me. Its light citrus flavor works well with a meal like that. However, if I just want to drink wine to enjoy the flavor of wine, then I go with red almost always.

Okay, here goes. These were my favorite cheap red wines over the past year. Select the link to find out details such as how much they cost (usually price ranges were for $5.99 to $3.99) and taste information.
