Wine enthusiasts pay thousands of dollars to collect bottles of the greatest vintages, but there are tons of great cheap wine brands for the more casual wine drinker. Some good inexpensive wine brands make red wine, while others focus on white. One of the best known cheap wine brands is Trader Joe’s house brand, Charles Schwab. Affectionately known as “Two Buck Chuck”, this wine was introduced at just $1.99 a bottle.
