Sometimes it’s difficult to stay within your budget without completely abandoning quality, but it’s possible. Here are seven wines you should stock up on for under $15 when you don’t want to compromise taste.

This California Chardonnay is oaky and rich with flavors of toasted oak, vanilla, green apple, pear and hints of coconut. This wine has a medium acidity and pairs well with grilled pork chops, salmon or grilled shrimp.

2. La Vostra Prosecco: $12

For an Italian sparkling wine that’ll give you all of the fruity vibes, try La Vostra Prosecco. The flavors are juicy with notes of apples, white peach and honeysuckle. It’s the perfect Prosecco to bring with you to a dinner party or housewarming.
