I usually get my wine at HEB, and I’ve had some good wine there, but I dont know very much about the different brands, and which ones are good. I like red wine. It doesnt matter too much what kind it is as long as its good. I like shiraz, merlot, cabernet, etc… I would probably consider inexpensive wine between -15. You can suggest some more expensive wines if they are really good though.

Take a look at wines from South America in general. You can find some incredible values around that price point.
Some specific wines to try based on your described taste:
~Navarro Correas Malbec ($9)
~Casillero del Diablo Carmenere ($8)
~Concha y Toro is a conglomerate that has a lot of good wines around this price point.
There’s a host of others out there to try. Take a look at Alamos (Catena’s second label). Their Malbec, while not earth shattering or life changing, is a rich, robust red for about 8 bucks!

A really good affordable wine is La Cuvee – Mythique. It usually goes for around $13.99, but it has a great taste.

My favorite cheap wine is called "Bitch" lol. Its a really light Shiraz, I got it at Spec’s. But it really is my favorite out of all red wines in your price range.

One of my favorites is the 2006 Fiole de Pape by Chateau Neuf. Though usually anything from the Rhône region in France is excellent.

We were introduced to Benzinger wines while on a cruise to the Caribbean. Hubby loves the merlot! It’s approximately $22 a bottle here in the southern part of the U.S.

Barefoot Wines makes excellent varieties of Pinot Grigio for a cold light crispy dry wine or Cabernet Sauvignon or Red ZInfindel for a bolder full body red… Available at TJ or local supermarkets for about $5.99 a bottle.
