Autumn is upon us, even if the weather doesn't always feel like it yet. And yet the days are getting shorter, the evenings and nights noticeably cooler. And it's time for the things many of us look forward to most in autumn: mushroom dishes, braised meat - and red wine. But which ones are classy but don't break the budget?
For all discerning wine lovers who want to get through autumn and winter with first-class red wines without having to cancel their building society savings contract, we have compiled our best reds from current tastings. Here are wines we can recommend up to ten, up to 15 and up to 20 euros. We make no claim to completeness; the tastings go on and on anyway. But we can promise one thing: The wines presented here are among the best in their price class.
