Finding a bargain in the wine world today can feel like an impossible task. Prices are soaring across the market, and even regions that used to be go-tos for good value like Beaujolais crus are seeing price hikes due to increased demand. So where can consumers look now to find a good deal? Whether it be an emerging region or a producer that’s flown under the radar, there are still some exciting hidden gems to discover in wine. Here, we asked 15 wine pros from across the country what they look for in a bargain wine to find great picks that fit every budget.
“I recommend Louis Jadot as our go-to wine bargain. This is an excellent Burgundy wine that offers great value for the price point. We have it available in all our outlets by the glass, including both the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Louis Jadot has been a family-owned winery since 1945. We offer different tiers of their wines by the glass and bottle, ranging from their entry-level wines to their grand cru. It’s my go-to wine for the price point because it’s versatile and can be enjoyed in a variety of settings.” —Mark Watten, sommelier, La Zozzona at the Grand Hyatt, Scottsdale, Ariz.
