If market research is to be believed, today’s 20-somethings will be wine-industry saviors, said Jason Wilson in The Washington Post. Many members of the Millennial generation already buy at least one $20 bottle a month, and they’re more likely than older consumers to try unknown wines.

2010 Bodegas Borsao Garnacha ($8). Inexpensive Spanish reds, like this “juicy, lively” grenache, “are the perfect gateway wines for newbies.”
2009 Bogle Petit Sirah ($10). This bold red is “consistently one of the best values from California.” It’s “rich, dark, juicy, tannic.”
