I choose my wine by silly means as well...I've had a lot of wine with beautiful labels...if there's a panther or a cat on the label, so much the better.
But i've found a few real hints for buying cheap wine.
My uncle the chef says..."when buying cheap red wine, it's a good idea to pick the one with the highest alcohol content; that will probably be the best"
If you're buying red table wine...french has the best cheap red table wine, i've found. Makes sense, they have wine with their meals and all...
Don't buy wine from California..unless it's an established napa or sonoma wine...A**holes are moving from the cities and clearing our foothill forest land (which hold an incredible diversity of species, including mountain lions) because they think it's cool to have a winery. The foothill isn't even a good place to grow wine...And I think we have enough high end wine in the world without endangering species because someone thinks they want "to live in the country and grow wine"
