It’s hard to be a wine snob on a budget. You always end up buying the best of the worst bottles, and anyone with a strong wine preference can tell the difference between a $15, $20 and $30 vino. But there’s a wine company out there that came up with a solution for us cash-strapped folks so we can enjoy our fine wine without breaking the bank.

90+ Cellars set out to sell high-end wine to consumers at a lower price, benefiting all players in the industry. The team behind the wine company tastes hundreds of wines every year from some of the top-rated wineries around the world in order to pick the right bottles for its customers. And since 90+ Cellars is a “virtual winery,” its founders don’t have to worry about the overhead of a fully functional winery or vineyard, which makes their bottles affordable to a wider range of consumers.

Some of the company’s most popular bottles include a 2016 Pinot Noir from California’s Russian River Valley for $19, a 2017 Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand for $13 and a 2016 Pinot Grigio from Trentino, Italy for $13. You’ll also find an organic Prosecco from Veneto, Italy for $15 and a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenére for $12.

The resourceful wine company was founded at the height of the recession, right when the demand for bottles priced higher than $20 dropped significantly. Since then, 90+ Cellars has grown significantly, with retailers all over the country. You’ll find wines that should be in the $30 range available for just $15.

So what’s the catch? Well, your only indicator of quality with these bottles is the taste. You’ll never know the full scoop on the vintage, except for the general region from which the grapes originated. But if that isn’t super important to you, you’re not missing out on much.

You can find 90+ Cellars wine online and get your bottles delivered straight to your door. So the next time you have company coming over that you need to impress with vino, order through the “virtual winery” instead and invest in a more expansive cheese plate while you’re at it.
