A red wine from Spain by Protocolo would set you back only .99 at The Wine Cellar, 2100 W. 25th St.

Are you a cash-strapped social drinker wishing to expand your weekend options past the daily drink special? It’s easy to work on being an amateur sommelier on a budget, say local wine experts. All you need is a 10-spot and a few hints.

We asked two wine experts, Steven Berger, owner of The Wine Cellar, 2100 W. 25th St., and Brian Fadden, owner of Parkway Wine and Spirits, 3514 Clinton Parkway, for their top choices in cheap wines. Here are their suggestions.

• Seigneurs de Bergerac rose, $5.99: For those wanting the best of the cheapest, check out this pretty pink drink, Berger says. “I picked it just because most people are into white zinfandel right now, and I think it’s a nice little change from that.”

• Columbia-Crest Two Vines chardonnay, $7.99: This wine is sourced from multiple growers but still gets good reviews, Fadden says. “A great, everyday chardonnay for $8,” he says.

• Marc Cellars pinot noir, $8.99: This pinot noir was the top-rated one by both Fadden and Berger. “It’s hard to get a pinot noir that’s worth anything (for) under $10, and this is one of the ones that is actually pretty good quality for a pretty affordable price,” Fadden says, noting that though it is bottled in Sonoma County, Calif., the grapes are imported from France.

• Hogue fumé blanc, $9.99: Berger says this type of wine would appeal to anyone who likes nice, dry sauvignon blanc, because that’s pretty much what it is. “Robert Mondavi … had a bumper crop back in the ’60s, early ’70s of sauvignon blanc, and it wasn’t selling really well, and he took the terminology of French, where it is actually blanc fumé, inverted the terms, called it fumé blanc, forgot to copyright it, and now everybody does one,” Berger says. “For the rest of his life, he was probably kicking himself.”

• Hogue riesling, $9.99: Another offering from Hogue, which produces wine from the Columbia Valley portion of Washington state. “Reislings are typically going to be on the sweet side,” Berger says. “It’s a real good, starting-out wine if someone is not into wine.”

• White Truck pinot grigio, $9.99: This wine basically sums up what you want in a bottle that’s under $10. “A really easy drinking, approachable wine,” Fadden says. “Not too complex, but that’s kind of what your point is.”
