I buy jug wines. Decent tasting and relatively cheap.
Carlo Rossi merlot, paisano, or chianti. Good with a meal.

The Paisano is great, IMO
Have a jug at home. I like the chianti too...
Almaden makes a great boxed Merlot, both are a tad tart and slightly dry, but not too bad.
My dad has a vineyard and makes wine. I like mine a bit tart and dry personally.
A neat very inexpensive red - a Merlot is by Banrock Station - Description: A softer style of wine, this flavoursome Merlot reveals ripe fruit aromas of blueberry, raspberry and plum. These characters continue onto the palate, and are complemented by subtle, toasty oak characters.
Very tasty with a grilled pizza.
