Good Cheap Red Wine: 10 Quick Recommendations

It's Friday night and you're looking to find the perfect bottle of red wine for your date with your lovely husband or wife, but you don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a bottle of red wine. What do you do? You try to find a good cheap red wine at the nearest liquor store, hoping that your choice for a fifteen dollar bottle of cabernet was indeed a good choice. You cross your fingers in hopes that this bottle of cheap red wine won't taste like straight vinegar.

Let's face it. It's difficult to find a good cheap red wine these days. When I say "cheap" I mean a bottle of wine under $20.

So, here's a quick guide and some of my recommendations for ten bottles of good cheap red wine.
