Proof that great wine does not have to cost a fortune. We have pulled together ten bottles all under $50 per bottle when bought by the case: refreshing, honest, and genuinely delicious. From Alsatian bubbles to Beaujolais and right-bank Bordeaux, there is something here for every glass and every occasion.
Bubbles
1. Crémant d'Alsace Brut Zéro — Valentin Zusslin (NV)
Alsace, France · $43/bottle · Case of 6: $280 → $260
Zero dosage, zero compromise. Valentin Zusslin is one of Alsace's most respected organic estates, and this Brut Zéro sparkling is everything you want when the heat is on bone dry, lively, with a clean citrus snap and fine persistent bubbles. No added sugar, no fuss. The ideal aperitif for a Singapore evening.
2. Saumur Bulles de Roche — Domaine des Roches Neuves, Thierry Germain (2021)
Loire Valley, France · $45/bottle · Case of 6: $310 → $270
Thierry Germain's sparkling Saumur is a rare find, biodynamically farmed Chenin Blanc from the tuffeau soils of the Loire, vinified with the same care and precision as his still wines. Delicately creamy, with white peach, chalk, and a long mineral finish. This is sparkling wine with terroir and soul.
Whites
3. Bourgogne Septembre — Edouard Delaunay (2022)
Burgundy, France · $43/bottle · Case of 6: $280 → $260
Edouard Delaunay's "Septembre" is named for the harvest month and bottled with a light touch that makes it sing in a warm climate. Classic Burgundy Chardonnay gentle oak, ripe apple, a streak of mineral freshness at a price that makes it an easy weeknight pour. Goes beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or a quiet evening on its own.
4. Mâcon-Azé — Domaine de la Garenne (2023)
Burgundy (Mâconnais), France · $43/bottle · Case of 6: $280 → $260
The Mâconnais is where Burgundy loosens its tie. Domaine de la Garenne's Mâcon-Azé is a textbook example of what makes this sub-region so loveable: plump, generous Chardonnay with ripe stone fruit, good acidity, and an easy, sunny character. Chill it well, open it outside, and pair it with anything from the sea.
5. Entre-Deux-Mers Génération III — Château Thieuley (2023)
Bordeaux, France · $33/bottle · Case of 6: $220 → $200
Our best-value white on the list. Château Thieuley's Entre-Deux-Mers is a Sauvignon Blanc-led blend with a burst of grapefruit and fresh-cut grass, finished with a clean saline note. At $33 a bottle, it is the one to crack open on a Tuesday without thinking twice. Made for seafood, salads, and Singapore's hawker favourites.
6. Côtes Catalanes La Femme Soleil — Clos du Rouge Gorge (2024)
Roussillon, France · $43/bottle · Case of 6: $280 → $260
Clos du Rouge Gorge is one of the most exciting natural wine estates in the South of France. "La Femme Soleil" is a white wine of extraordinary vibrancy — aromatic, textured, alive with energy. Expect dried flowers, stone fruit, and a warm Roussillon sunshine in the glass. A wine that makes you pay attention.
Reds
7. Fleurie Origines — Grégoire Hoppenot (2023)
Beaujolais, France · $43/bottle · Case of 6: $280 → $260
Fleurie is the most floral of all the Beaujolais crus, and Grégoire Hoppenot's "Origines" is a beautiful expression of it, pure Gamay from old vines, with rose petals, fresh cherry, and a silky lightness that makes it ideal for a slight chill before serving. If there is one red on this list built for Singapore's climate, it is this one.
8. Bourgogne Septembre — Edouard Delaunay (2023)
Burgundy, France · $43/bottle · Case of 6: $280 → $260
The red counterpart to bottle #3, and just as compelling. Delaunay's Bourgogne Pinot Noir is elegant and precise red fruit, earthy depth, a fine tannin structure that never feels heavy. A Burgundy at this price that drinks this well is worth stocking up on. Try it with duck, lamb, or mushroom-based dishes.
9. Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux "Le Terrier" 100% Malbec — Château L'Escadre (2022)
Bordeaux, France · $33/bottle · Case of 6: $220 → $200
A 100% Malbec from Bordeaux — rare, and worth your attention. Château L'Escadre's "Le Terrier" is a rich, generous red with dark plum, cocoa, and a velvety finish that makes it ideal alongside grilled meats and BBQ. At $33 a bottle, it punches well above its weight. The one to bring to the next cookout.
10. Saint-Émilion Grand Cru — Clos St Vincent (2020)
Bordeaux, France · $43/bottle · Case of 6: $280 → $260
We end with a Grand Cru. Clos St Vincent sits on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, and the 2020 vintage is a gem — concentrated, polished, and already showing real harmony. Expect ripe Merlot fruit, cedar, and a long, structured finish. This is the bottle to save for a special dinner or to lay down for another year or two.
