I live about 20 minutes from the hunter valley vineyards. I know a bunch of people who own vineyards etc. It's good when there's a gathering at one of the peoples places, bottles of wine everywhere, to take home also.
Alot of wine is used with the aid of milk and eggs, so I can't drink all wines. One of my favourites is Peter Lehmens Clancy Red. It's around $10 to $16 a bottle and beautiful. I've converted alot of people to Clancys, alot of older folk who don't mind spending the extra money on a bottle either.
I drink alot of cask wine because it's cheap. Yalumba Shiraz is a nice cask wine. Most cask wine tastes like piss, but this is an exception. It's around $13 a cask.
It's like anything, if you find the right cheap wine, you'll never spend stupid amounts.
