Impressing On A Budget with Dan Murphy’s

People in their mid-20s face the struggle of balancing an unforgiving budget with an increased number of dinner parties. So, we’re in a position of having to bring a long a bottle but aren’t able to opt for the more expensive bottles – but you certainly don’t want to be bringing along anything cheap and nasty.

There are entire sections of bottle shops of amazing imported wines, that sit under $10, that get avoided because people panic with lesser known varieties – especially when they’re cheap.

Peter Nixon, Dan Murphy’s head of wine panel, has waded through the vast array of quality imports available to us, for under $10. Spain, Italy and Argentina (to name a few) are producing some of the best (and best value) imported wines, with varieties such as Tempranillo, Prosecco, Pinot Grigio and Malbec. The wines are able to land so cheap, because they are inexpensive to produce.

So here’s a nice collection of fantastic wines under $10 that will sure get your guests talking!
