By Halliday Promotion

If you're looking for more bang for your buck this winter, here is a list of nine wines that are both highly rated and $30 or under.

With thousands of bottles being produced by wineries every year, great wines for great value can sometimes be hard to find. To help with your search, we place value rosettes on certain tasting notes to indicate that they are wines of great value in relation to their ratings.

Making it even easier for you, we have curated a list of nine wines that are all rated 92 points or above, and that also cost $30 or under. It's truly the best of both worlds.

The list starts with a $28 white blend from Margaret River, then is followed by a $28 red blend from Hilltops, a $25 chenin blanc from the Perth Hills, a $28 grenache blanc from the Barossa Valley, a $25 chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills, a $29 picpoul from Heathcote, a $25 chardonnay from the Hunter Valley, a $28 picpoul from McLaren Vale and a $25 pinot gris from the King Valley.

If one (or two) of the nine wines catches your eye, make sure you click through to read their full Halliday review, and then click the winery link at the bottom to buy directly from the producer.
