As the warmer months approach, many wine enthusiasts are on the lookout for refreshing wines to enjoy during the summer. Fortunately, you don’t have to break the bank to sip on delicious varieties that are perfect for the season. Here are some of the best wines you can enjoy this summer for $25 and under.

1.Sauvignon Blanc –With its zesty and crisp flavor profile, Sauvignon Blanc is a summer favorite. Look for offerings from regions like New Zealand or Chile to find a high-quality bottle without a hefty price tag.

2.Rosé –Nothing says summer like a chilled glass of Rosé. Provence in France is renowned for its Rosé, but there are great options from other parts of the world that come at more affordable prices.

3.Chardonnay –For those who prefer a richer white wine, Chardonnay is an excellent choice. Opt for unoaked or lightly oaked varieties from California or Australia to accompany your summer fare.

4.Pinot Grigio –Light and easy-drinking, Pinot Grigio pairs wonderfully with light dishes and sunny afternoons. Italian Pinot Grigio is particularly well-regarded and can often be found at very reasonable prices.

5.Riesling –If you enjoy a touch of sweetness with high acidity which makes it incredibly refreshing, Riesling is an ideal pick for warmer weather. German Rieslings offer some of the best value for quality in this category.

6.Cava –When it comes to sparkling wines, Cava from Spain offers incredible quality at a fraction of the price of Champagne. Perfect for toasting on those long summer evenings.

7.Vinho Verde –From Portugal, Vinho Verde has a light effervescence, lower alcohol, and bright citrus notes that make it incredibly thirst-quenching on a hot day.

8.Gamay –Looking for a red? Chill a bottle of Gamay (the grape used in Beaujolais) slightly to bring out its juicy red fruit flavors—a delightful complement to any summer BBQ.

By selecting any of these wines, you’ll be set to enjoy some fantastic flavors throughout the summer without spending more than $25 per bottle. Whether you’re planning a picnic, BBQ, or just relaxing by the pool, these wines promise to deliver enjoyment without compromising on quality or value. Cheers to summer sipping!
