Hi Konstantin - looking forward to another great year of videos. Would you ever consider filming a cellar tour? I've always been curious about the room you're always filming in and what wines are on your shelf.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Yes, I might do that

[@Stanvansandt]

I would love to watch that - especially if you selected wines that you have different reasons for holding back. Is it a good wine that you hope will mature into an even better one? Is it a great wine you are saving for a special occasion? Is it a valuable wine that you hope to resale at a profit?

[@kahl9837]

That would be super cool!

[@darkerbinding6933]

My go-to reliable value red, is Bogle Phantom. Around $18 USD, it's a Zinfandel based blend.

[@NickKnightx]

I work in wine retail. People ask for expensive items, and I down-sell people to amazing bottles for half the price just like youre doing here ! Thanks for showing people you dont always have to spend tons of money for beautiful wine !

[@adjusted-bunny]

A good alternative to champagne are Crémant d'Alsaçe and Spanish Cava. In my book Cahors/France produces the best Malbec in the world with Argentina as a second best.

[@nimachatrizeh5766]

Love the videos! Would love to see some Greek wines in the mix on the videos! Xinamovro in particular! Thanks again

[@spinfish99]

Guigal Côtes du Rhône rouge. Retails near me in Switzerland for Fr.14 and every few months it's available at 20% off. Another great value wine is chenin blanc fom South Africa. Many to choose from. One of the wine world's great bargains

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I’m a huge fan of the basic Wittmann Riesling and Spatburgunder. Good call on Barbera, I kick and scream how amazing the wines can be for the money.

[@v00500v]

Thanks!

Love watching your videos, Konstantin! My favorite value wines: - Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling (9-12 USD): just a hint of sweetness balanced by acidity and tropical aromas/flavors with medium-short finish, exceptionally versatile in food pairing - Catena Malbec (14-20 USD): variety of aromas and flavor notes, elegant style but good concentration

[@KarolinaWojtczak01]

Can definitely vouch for Catena, great value for money even here in Ireland where all wine is expensive anyway

[@williampraat1649]

I really like these videos where you taste/score value for money wines. I cannot affort wines that costs >100 per bottle, so videos like this are very usefull for me. I hope you make more similar ones.

[@schmup53]

Riesling is by far my favorite value wine. I love it! It goes with a lot of food, particularly here in the SW US where I live where there is lots of spicy, hot foods that need a lighter acidic wine with a touch of sweet. Great video!

[@lcollens]

I visited Fratelli Revello in 2021 for an organised wine tasting. Just outside Alba and well worth visiting this small winery (recommended by the Somm at the three star Piazza Duomo in Alba). Their Barolos are quite delicious.

[@stevenholt4936]

Red: Guigal Cotes du Rhone. The 2019 is a gem. Great value. White: Caves de Turckheim - anything but especially the Riesling. Fizz: Monsigny Champagne from Aldi.

[@martinkuusk9254]

Hello Konstantin. Great videos, interesting and educational! My value wine for a long time was Xavier vignon - Cotes du Rhone. @ 10 EUR it is a value favorite.

[@larskelp1312]

La Rioja Alta Viña Ardanza Reserva, very good wine and great value for a quality wine like this.

[@dandalee]

That one's actually next on my list! Is it your favorite Rioja?

[@styx85]

Love this! This is my favorite kind of content. And 3/5 wines are available at my local shop, which is great too 😊

Quinta Do Noval Petit Verdot. Normally sells for about 30 euros but I have seen it on sale for 22. Amazing value at that price. Love your work!

[@robertterry9854]

Hi Konstantin! Would you ever consider doing a video discussing wine auction websites? It seems like you can get good wine for reasonable prices, but wasn't sure how trustworthy they are. Thanks!

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Yes, I might!

This is a great idea! I work at one of these place and would really like his opinion on how these fit into the market in his opinion.

[@Poogoo701]

Hi Konstanine, thank you for keeping up the amazing content. You're the best master of wine that is currently making tasting videos. What happened to your pinot noir you made last year, can we get an update on how it's progressed?

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Thank you… yes, maybe I will do an update video on it

[@pierre-js7jt]

@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine Hi, I tasted Roc de Cambes and Aurage by François Mitjavile. Would you review them on your next video please along with Tertre-Roteboeuf by him as well. I found Roc de Cambes to be an impressive value wine along with Aurage.

This is a video i can really use. Im not yet on the €20+ drinking level. Now between 12 and 18 give or take, so im grateful!

[@joaoribeira]

Very good video, Konstantin! Thanks again. It is essential that we all learn to identify good value wines. It is true that portuguese wine tends to be among the best quality/price ratios around by I really like your selection - the wines are fairly easy to find, and you picked wines from very good regions, allbeit less expensive!! Good for you (and all of us)! I wish you a great year of videos!

[@LadyAceRoxy]

Favorite value wine is definitely the Crios Torrontes. It goes for around $11 here in the US and is such a solid dry white wine for the money. Goes great with spicy foods or any Latin fare.

[@graykilpatrick1319]

The best thing about your videos are what I learn from you! Thanx!

[@andreasfasshauer677]

Great video - as always. As a Riesling lover I tend to agree that there is a lot of value hidden in the entry level especially for every day drinking pleasure. On the red wine side I think Hanspeter Ziereisen is nailing it down with the Tschuppen. A drinkable AND enjoyable Pinot Noir/Spätburgunder for 12 Euros is quite a bargain. Unfortunately it sells out quite fast and the quality varies with the year.

[@tlhuffman]

My vote for very high value wines are: - E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône [Grenanche and Syrah blend] $18 - Louis Roederer Estate Brut [sparkling wine using Champagne grapes and methode traditionnelle] $25 - Markham Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot $25 - Arnaldo Rivera 'Undicicomuni' Barolo $37 - Bucci Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore $22

[@thereseandersson5279]

Iwould love to see you do a episode about white wines from Australia, especially Riesling. Thankyou for great content. :)

[@gstrizzolo]

I'm always glad when you put an argentinian wine in your videos. Considering that I'm from Argentina (a country with an unstable economy), I would prefer: "Cordero con piel de lobo" from "Mosquita Muerta" ($750 arg pesos = 2 US dollars), and "Don David" from "El Esteco" ($1100 arg pesos = 3 US dollars). Note: Consider that I'm writting this comment with an exchange rate $369 arg pesos = $1 USD (15 january 2023)

[@rikheyvaert3180]

Another great video! My value wine is the Goru Gold from Ego Bodegas in Jumilla Spain; 12.50€ in Belgium. Love that wine!

[@Mikeyroot13]

i taste a lot of wines and sometimes you find a hidden jem when you go to the winery directly it is always fun to talk over the produced wine and the style you want. thanks for the tasting. it shows how to find that daily drinker wine. Riesling has changed a lot in the last years and some producers have daily drinkers as well. Rheinhessen and Pfalz as well has some small great producers for low price. sometimes you will find that in the books besides the great winerys but they not bad.....

[@tonytheperson]

Wittmann (Kirchspiel 2012) is what got me into wine 5 years ago. I'm now moving onto WSET Dip and started a wine import business. So far, the best entry level Riesling I've found is Schaefer-Froehlich Nahe, an absolute banger, excellent value for money.

[@riinuvalk9305]

Hi, one of my favorite value wine is definitely Salentein Barrel Selection Malbec (12-14€) from Argentina, Mendoza.

[@holyone5]

Great Video! Some of my favourite value Wines are the Côtes du Rhône from capoutier and the Ortsweine from several German producers ❤

[@fredericperrin3279]

Another great video Konstantin! I visited Domaine de la Janasse in 1990 with my dad. We bought quite a few bottles there, it was all so casual and easy. Their best wines at the time were about 70-80 French francs, which is something like 15-20 EUR today. And these were amazing. I still remember the 1986 white, a true jewel. Like you, I like a fair amount of acidity in wine, but I understand you seem to find too much of it in the Janasse. As for the barbera, I also completely get your point about astringency. The key, in my humble opinion, for Piedmont reds, is rest. I open them hours before drinking them, and even so they are usually much better the next day. These wines are "aggressive" right after opening. But given time, they soften and become just wonderful, balanced, still a bit rough on the edges, but delightful. Aging and oxydation really helps them.

[@maximilianschwab9668]

There are two excellent wine brands from Argentina that I love. The first is Catena Zapata, the prices are around 60,00 € to 90,00 €, and the Salentein brand is a great value, they go from 9,00 € to 60,00 €. They also make "champagne" (champenoise method) they call it Cuvee or Brut from Salentein, they are actually pretty good. Both are from Valle de Uco.

[@andrewcarroll3304]

My go-to value red wine is Chateau de Saint Cosme, Cote du Rhone, at about 10 -11 Euro. I buy a case most years and have never been disapointed - we call it our House Wine! Also good value but not as cheap is the CdR Les Peyrouses, from Alain Voge, a Northern Rhone CdR, at about 18 Euro. I also like the Lindes de Remelluri from Thelmo Rodriguez at about 15 Euro. Still in Spain, from Casa Castillo, at about 9-10 Euro - some labeling changes but used to be Monastreil. Keep up the good work. Would like to see your selection for under 100$ or Euro.

[@anthonybechara86]

Beautiful and inlightning video as usual :) For the reds, I agree with you on the Rhone huge potential for Value-Wines... I had a very nice Lirac from Domaine Duseigneur for 15 Euro, which I can make it my best value wine in 2022... On the White side, I love a nice Pacherenc de Vic Bilh or Jurancon Sec, like the ones of Domaine Capmartin in Pacherenc, or Cauhape in Jurancon... They offer a good deal!!

[@mosrdo]

I just bought three bottles of Wittmann Riesling (estate, Westhofener 1G, and Kirchspiel GG) for a comparative tasting and thought it was a fun coincidence to recognize the wine in the thumbnail :D

[@travioh]

Love it! As a wine enthusiast, many friends ask for recommendations, especially in these price regions. Same advice. Look beyond cabs and chardonnays! 😉

[@gilejoksimovic3168]

East, west, the house wine is the best! I knew beforehand that Riesling will beat them all! :) Great video Konstantin!

[@patrickdemarcevol]

Bouvet Ladubay is a very good alternative to champagne and is cheap over here in France, around 16€

[@Cloverdad]

Always happy to pick a bottle of Catena from the shelf. Not too adventurous wines but always great value, event the top ones!

[@jimcricket8334]

Love that you included a sip going down the wrong pipe, watery-eyed aftermath and all. We’ve all been there. My bargain bottle go to: Saint Cosme Cote du Rhône. Around $14 +/- around here.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

That’s a great one!

[@robertthrossell4321]

Very good 👍

[@itsmederek1]

Serbal from Atamisque(winery in Tupungato, Mendoza) does great in every grape variety they offer but their Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Viogner stand out for me. All around 12 euros in the Netherlands but better than most wines around 25 from the same regions, all fruit focused without oak etc which is what makes the price so attractive eventhough the wine is only better for not having oak in my opinion. Edit: Honorary mention is any Pinot Blanc or Pinot Noir from Baden around the 15 - 25 euro mark has been stunning for me recently as well.

[@KuroAkatsuki]

I love how you didn't edit out the near death experience you had, i guess it can happen to everyone hehe, good stuff as always keep it up

[@maxrav2]

Langhe Nebbiolo is definitely value driven. You can get a very good bottle for less then $20 in USA.

[@robdielemans9189]

Great video, my current favourite best value wine has to be the Pepino by Weingut Schmid Austria. I also enjoy most white côtes de Gascogne which can be dirt cheap at times.

[@Jimmypolemica]

There is quite a few Chianti Classico Riserva for bargain prices that are hard to pass on. I drank a CCR from San Felice - il Grigio 2017 (blind) 3 days ago. It had all the intensity, depth, balanced structure and enough complexity you are looking for, and it was just 14€. Another one I just bought another 3 bottles of is Monasterio de las Viñas - Garnacha reserva 2016. It comes from old vines and has that purity of fruit, while maintaining its freshness, that you just can't beat at 12€. Absolute steal.

[@nikolajkrarup8750]

True. San felice offers tremendous value.

[@pvanvalin1]

great video we always enjoy watching what you come up with! My wife would like to suggest a pinot noir tasting video.

[@dave7mm083]

A few favorites that are nice for the price... (in the USA) Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet; 10 USD Chateau la Rose de Vitrac; 11 USD Castello di Gabbiano Cavaliere d'Oro Chianti Classico; 12 USD Pretty much anything from McPherson Cellars, Texas; 12-13 USD

[@raymondporter2094]

Favourite good VALUE wine - Corte Alle Mura, Chianti Riserva 2019 - from Lidl in England at £5.99 a bottle. How can you beat that (approx $7.50)? I think Richard Bampfield gave it a score of 91 which obviously drew my attention. After drinking it in November/December 2022 I bought 4 or 5 cases at that price but had to look around for it as it sold like hotcakes. And for me better than many/most cheap NV Champagnes is a New Zealand methode traditionelle wine: Cuvee Marlborough Nautilus NV Brut (from Campbell & Son, Leyburn, N Yorkshire) for about £20.

[@joegroover8881]

I tried Ridge ATP and am looking at Quilceda Creek. Just trying to figure out what I like. Thanks to you and this community for the help

[@halfprice2]

My favourite value wines: * Chateau Ste Michelle Dry Riesling (I see a fellow commenter has said that too!) * Trade Joe's Blanc des Blancs (US only - extremely good for the 7 USD price tag) * Most of the bottom tier of Louis Jadot wines. Louis J'Adore, I say :D

St. Cosme Côtes du Rhône can often be had for $13 and with two years of bottle age often scores 90 points (not James Suckling). 100% Syrah, it is dark, herbal, smokey, chalky and a little sweet. So much more flavor than you'll find in most other bottles of the same price.

I am drinking a san felice chianti classico 2020 while watching this. Its on offer for only 7$. An amazing value. Its on winespectators top 100 list and they rate it 92 points. Several other tasters too. One even rate it 93. I agree. 92 points for me. An amazing value.

[@mariofranco7416]

Carmenere is my new favorite grape! The reserva by the brand Carmen is delish and under $20. How about a video on the exploding wine region of Chile and all the delicious creations coming from that country?! Much love and all the best.

[@ronjohnson6406]

When looking for under rated wines I tend to look for Cotes du rhone for the reds and Gascogne for the whites.

[@andythem320guy9]

My best value wine region has to be Spain and Chile. Yet I gravitate closer to Spain. A simple yet elegant wine that I always have is Coto crianza 2017. It smells of blackberries vanilla with some added oak. It's a bit grippy and not to acidic. It's 89 pts 13.99 usd wine and a very good entry level wine. In the case of Chile Santa Helena reserva siglo de oro Merlot is great as for it's price of 8.79 usd.

[@damic3237]

For me those two reds, awesome value for the price, both for around 10-15 USD here in Poland. For me perfect every day wines to pair with dinner M. Chapoutier Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Cotes du Roussillon Villages Messer del Fauno Nero d'Avola

[@michelem9341]

Loved that you kept in the choking! Be careful, my friend. My favorite value right now is Poderi Luigi Einaudi Tecc and Cote Du Rhône villages (Perrin). I’d love to hear your thoughts on them.

[@chanidapawilawan6743]

Great content. Plz do more for entry level 🙏 much appreciated. Fans from Thailand.

[@melsialiaj]

My favorite value wine regions are Naousa and Nemea in Greece. Argentina, Chile and Spain offer good value in general.

[@utubefanatic16]

We had that Barbera at my wine bar! People loved it. I agree with the grippy-ness that you pointed out. I have developed a taste for European wines and love Italian red wines. However, in California, specifically here in Southern California, people love BIG, bold red wines with lots of tannin and bitterness. I think this is why they really enjoyed this particular Barbera.

[@flaviochuahy3440]

Konstantin what do you think the consistency of your own scoring is? If you got these wines in a blind tasting, say 6 months from now, how different would be the scores?

[@tarawalker7193]

I love a good Washington state Reisling and also Barbera d'alba. Top of my list for food ready pairs.

[@MathijsHeyligen]

Leth chardonnay grande reserve, you have to try it.... like a great burgundy, full of flavour, oak, vanilla but in the end lemon and acidity to make it fresh again. Love this one. Austria is really upcoming in my opinion. Maybe a new video what you think, that are the best quality - price wines from austria? Would be great Konstantin. Keep up the good work.

[@Ithenos]

I'd enjoy more like this. Last year was the first time ever I had wine I truly enjoyed and opened my eyes as to why people like it. Being able to get some actually enjoyable wines which don't break the bank sounds wonderful.

[@KarolinaWojtczak01]

My go to value wine is Mud House Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, it's under 9€ in Tesco, around 14€ elsewhere, but really gives much more expensive Marlborough's that i've bought or tasted a run for their money. Incredible value for what you get in the bottle. I'd happily pay at least twice as much for a wine like that.

[@utu1124]

Reds: Baron de Ley Reserva (not gran reserva). Incredible bargain. Whites: Domäne Wachau Riesling Federspiel Terrassen

[@Rudy0stefmeister]

My favourite value wine is also a riesling, the basic riesling from Skillogalee in Clare Valley which I get by the case for AUD $25 each (€16 or USD $18)

[@stroopwafel6141]

You hit my jackpot with this video. I buy regularly entry Rieslings from good producers from the Pfalz, Rheinhessen and Nahe. They're offer a lot of pleasure for the money. So do the Rhône wines, however I'm not that much into the white Rhônes. For red it's a really a bargain treasury, like Domaine de Piaugier, Les Briquières, Sablet. You might also want to try the Pico Maccario Lavignone Barbera.That's a great daily drinker as well. I hope you will post more tastings in this price category.

[@stanleovart]

Normally I try to take wines inside 15-20€ category, but here on Finland prices are higher then in other countries, so I would be happy to take more expensive ones, what I do sometimes. But generally wines inside 15-20€ are good.

[@hope2someday691]

?? Love your wine tastings, but would love them more if you went into the tannin description a little more. Are they green never to be good or age worthy which will improve over time?? Thanx🥂

[@jameswingad3212]

For value I always think of Chile. The quality of pinot noir and sauvignon blanc you get there at such great prices is utterly brilliant. German wine is also generally extremely good value and while I agree the Wittmann Riesling is very good I really love their Grauburgunder. Also late last year there was a tasting here in Munich with the wines from Molise standing up to many of their far more expensive rivals.

[@itsmederek1]

Cono Sur is a massive Chilean winery but I really love their unoaked Chardonnay. I can buy it in the supermarket for 6.49 euro in Netherlands and it really delivers for that price point in terms of texture and fruit, around 87 points maybe imo- not that my opinion means anything lol.

[@Ildskalli]

We're the kings of value 😬 But that reputation also means that it's very hard for Chilean wines to compete in the higher categories. Enjoy our ludicrously cheap pinot noirs - I can already see the prices creeping up, considering how expensive PNs in other regions are. It's only a matter of time before the winemakers wise up.

[@itsmederek1]

@@Ildskalli For me Pinot from Chile never truly hit the spot yet, got any recommendations? Preferably something widely distributed :)

[@Ildskalli]

@@itsmederek1 Oof, that's hard, I live in Chile so distribution isn't a problem. Maybe you can get your hands on William Févre's stuff? I love what they're doing with Maule valley PN. I can also recommend Kalfu Sumpai and Villard's wines.

[@itsmederek1]

@@Ildskalli Unfortunately no luck, only William get distributed outside of Chile but not to Europe. I think this partly explains the low prices unfortunately. Thank you for taking the time to recommend these, will definitely keep an eye on these producers in the future :)

Great price point for a video! I’ve been drinking more white wine lately and was actually reflecting on what I’ve been paying. I think there is always fun in finding a bargain, and they are out there, but seriously anything under $15 for a white is more often mediocre than not. I’ll be criticized for this, but $30 or more can really get you into a very nice well made red. I know it’s a lot of money, but a good winemaker that takes their job seriously is not going to give their wine away.

[@Soulvinum]

Hi Konstantin portuguese top wines are at the same level of any top burgundy, bordeux, stellenbosh,or Napa Valley....Well...any region...the portuguese wines still very underrated in comparison with the most famous New or old World wines.

The best value white rhone is M. Chapoutier Belleruche. It goes on sale in Canada for like $16. Easily an 88-89

[@dandalee]

I feel like getting a great, thought-provoking wine for under $25 is like a 10% hit rate. I've decided to stop looking at wine ratings because the highly rated ones seem to be the ones that disappoint me the most. Perhaps it's just that my expectations get too high. My favorite wine to date is a Rueda (2020 Finca La Colina) that was less than ten euros at the grocery store, but I was astounded by its complexity and even petrol notes, and I bought it completely at random. I wish buying wine weren't such a crapshoot.
