Top Ten : Wines Under $15

By: Treve Ring
Everything in Moderation for January, Including Price

We all know them.

Maybe we’ve even been one ourselves. That person, come January, who swears off alcohol in a New Year, new start, liver cleansing, clean living, Dryuary. Yes – post-holiday restraint and moderation is a smart and healthy move. But, seriously now, no wine? The thought to me always sounded a bit too – un-moderate. Wine, in many cultures including GOW, is a part of daily life. Grapes are key members of the fruit group, yeah? Numerous studies have shown that wine – in moderation – leads to a healthy, lengthy, and much more fun life. According to science, a daily glass for women (two for men) can keep your heart healthy, help you lose weight, reduce forgetfulness, boost your immunity, and help prevent bone loss. Pay attention all you January resolutioners – it doesn’t get better than this!

However, what many do need to cut back on after a holiday season of excess is expenses. That’s why I’ve put together a Top Ten of fantastic value wines for under $15 (BC pricing) that we tasted within the past year, so you can boost your health, and your bank account, this month. I recommend that you stock up on the below. For health reasons, naturally.
