Affordable Wine for College Students That are Actually Decent

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Holy Cross chapter.

Here is a list of the wines I have taste tested and I approve of (prices are from total wine). No Barefoot, no boxes, and no moscatos here. I also thought it would be fun to add my “treat yourself” bottles for some of the categories, in case you feel like splurging! I included a range of prices and listed white wines, rosĂ©s, and red wines to pick from. Grabbing a glass of wine while watching the bachelor, having a spa night, and catching up with your friends or roomies after a long day is always such a nice way to relax. Don’t forget to save this list for when Catalina rolls around, and enjoy!
