Shop the Best Wines from Spain

Wines from Spain are one of the great values in today's marketplace. One can find high quality, highly-rated, modern-styled Spanish wine for under $10 or a great value from a producer that has been around for more than a century for under $20.

In Spain wine regions are administered quite a bit like they are in France and are called Denominación de Origen or "D.O." for short. Rioja and Priorat are the only Spanish wine regions that have an elevated status; Denominación de Origen Calificada (D.O.C.) and Denominación d'Origen Qualificada (D.O.Q.) respectively.

Eighty percent of the wines from Spain come from a selection of about 20 grapes, although there are at least 400 grapes grown in Spain. The most important grapes are Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and Albariño.
