How do you define inexpensive?
A good wine is Ruffino Chianti Classico. About $10 a bottle.

San Adrea's It's a Spanish red it's really nice and it's full bodied. It just so so mwah! It's about nearly ￡6 but that's about the cost of an average bottle of wine now. I brought a really nice bottle tonight for about 5.50 from Morrison's called Trapiche, it's made in Argentina and it was really nice and I will defiantly buy it again. Most Argentinean wines and Chilean wines are really good. Look out for the ones which are Cabernet Sauvignon they usually taste better.
Hope this helps happy wino hunting!
Wine from Chile is very good and inexpensive.
yellow tail shiraz is really nice. only like $7.99 per bottle.
chianti is a great choice as well. there are many varieties at decent prices. the supermarkets these days are really carrying a wide variety of quality wine. check it out!
hope this helps :D
i think u should always pay more for a red than a white, rioja is always a safe bet. cost roughly ￡5 and I have a mate who swears by up a gum tree form Austrailia which is cheaper.
A merlot from most supermarkets at about ￡3.99 -￡5.99 a bottle- should be easy drinking red wine- with a hint of blackcurrants. Chilien or Bulgarian is good.
South African pinotage is also good.
Jacobs Creek & Hardy's Stamp are both quite reliable makers of red wine.
I tend to avoid cheapish French red wine as it tends to be acidic.
Look for alcohol content of 12%-13.5% - 14% tends to be rather strong unless you are looking for something to go with steak or very strong cheese etc.
A good ausie wine called "Yellow tail" cabernet sauvignon. Can be found in waitrose for about a fiver.
Blossom Hill Fruity California Red.
Cheap, cheerful, & goes with anything... :)
Try Jewel wine from Lodi. They have good wines and everything is $10 dollars a bottle.

pick some fruit and make your own
Try a Casillero del Diablo - a Chilean vintner. They put out a brilliant Cabernet. Under $10 a bottle. That's my house wine. They also produce a really nice Carmenere.
Cheers!
You're asking for the impossible.
To recommend a wine without knowing when you are going to be drinking it and what with is like asking how long is a piece of string.
If you think red wine is just wine that is red, then just go a buy the cheapest bottle of plonk you can find down the offie - You won't know the difference.
Each grape variety (and blend of varieties) has different flavours and qualities. How long a wine is matured and what it's matured in also makes a difference to the flavour. Some wines compliment certain foods very well, while others can taste 'off' or at least not very nice if combined with the 'wrong' food.
It's not about price - it's about preference. If you want someone to recommend a wine then I would suggest you visit a reputable wine merchant, tell him how much you want to spend, what you're planning on eating, etc, and ask him to suggest a wine from what he has in stock. I doubt you will be disappointed.
Bon appetit!

j.p chenet.. french wonky bottle red ..￡3.99

i only ever drink these now they are really nice .
Santa Maria merlot or cabernet sauvignon a chilean wine.
Boggle is really nice. I'm kinda picky, and not a big wine fan, but Boggle is a good, smooth wine. cheers.
Hogue 2003 Genesis Cabernet Sauvignon - This is a spicy wine at its core with anise, clove and coffee bean accenting its bright fresh cherry and raspberry fruit flavors. It is a rich, full-bodied, expressive wine that still shows some finesse with fine, almost powdery tannins and well-integrated oak. Tobacco and black pepper linger on the finish. Pair this wine with grilled tri-tip steak, aged cheeses or dark chocolate. This is a great price for a quality Cab.($13.99)
well: according to California's Red Wines I would reccomend
Pink Chabliss yes
go to trader joe's. they have a million good wines for less than 10$ a bottle
