Reds, whites and sparkling wines from Chile and Brazil with their entire price range below R$ 50 in Sept/2026
Can you drink fine wine for R$ 50 or less? In the price survey Bebidário carried out at five Brazilian chains, ten wines from our catalog stay entirely below that amount, from the cheapest store to the most expensive: reds, whites and sparkling wines from Chile and Brazil. Below: what each one is, what the producer says about the flavor, the serving temperature and what food it goes with. The list runs from cheapest to most expensive.
Three criteria, in this order. Price: a wine only makes the list if its range in the 09/24/2026 survey, from the lowest to the highest price found, does not exceed R$ 50. Technical sheet: all are fine wines, from vinifera grapes, with a technical sheet published by the producer (grape, origin, temperature, food pairing), which makes clear what you are buying. Recognition: when the producer publishes a medal or competition distinction for the label, we say which. For most of these wines we found no published medal or critic's score; in those cases, the choice rests on the technical sheet and the price. Sweet table wines from American grapes, such as Pérgola Tinto Suave, cost less, but they are another category and were left out.
Chilean Sauvignon Blanc white from the Central Valley D.O., with two months of aging before bottling. According to the producer, the nose leans toward peach and tropical fruit, and the catalog profile marks high acidity (7 out of 10) and light body. Concha y Toro recommends serving it at 8 °C, with fish and seafood.
Carmenere red from the Central Valley D.O., with four months of aging. The pyramid, built with data from the producer and from stores, shows plum, black pepper and blackberry; the profile indicates medium body and moderate tannins.
