Welcome to Mattinson’s Best Value Australian Wine blog 2024. All the wines discussed here are available for under $25, preferably under $20, preferably closer to $15. I’m not – I should point out – talking about wines that are “good value compared to other similar wines”, even though that’s a legitimate approach. No. This blog is about up-front, low-cost, high value wines that taste genuinely good to genuine lovers of wine.
