Since you liked the German wines, try Piesporter, or Liebfraumilch, or any other wine from the Mosel- Saar- Ruwer region of Germany. You can find them at almost any grocery store chain or liquor store. But the label must say Mosel, Saar, Ruwer. They are all reasonably priced and delicious.

Try a nice Riesling wine; it's a German variety that stands on its own, and I think you'd like it from what you say. You can find it most anywhere. It's sort of like a sweet white wine, but not at all like most. In a good Riesling, the fruit flavors blend together really well. My favorite wines are dry white wines, but I still really love good Riesling. They come in all the ranges that other wines do, so you could actually spend less than 10 dollars for a bottle... but if you're up for it, a 20-dollar bottle that is *actually* imported from Germany (look for the Deutsche label) might be a nice taste test.
Happy sipping!

If you like German wines, experiment with some Rieslings. There are many different choices that are not too expensive. Some that I like that are under $20 are:
Chateau Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling;
S.A. Prum Essence Riesling
S.A. Prum 2004 Blue Slate Riesling
Saint M Riesling
Dr. Loosen Dr. L Estate Qba

I am a bug fan of Australian wines, specifically Yellow Tail. They're wines are always wonderful, especially their Shiraz-Grenache. However, I have been trying chilean wines and have been very impressed. All in all, the best bank for my buck HAS to be Charles Shaw. It is a vineyard in California and he is lovingly known as "Two Buck Chuck". He has everything from Chardonny to Shiraz, and his wines are sold in Trader joe's stores in California and New Mexico and other western states. They sell for $1.99 and have been some of the best wines and we always bring back a case for under $40. Happy tasting!

Try Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Especially ones from Marlborough. I love Isabel Estate, Oyster Bay, Babich.
For Red I like Sangiovese from Silverado Vineyards and Luna Vineyards in Napa, Zinfandel from Wild Horse Winery in Paso Robles.

Try Monkey Bay from New Zealand. Not too pricey and very good. Try the Pinot Grigio. Also, try some Chilean wine. They have some pretty good ones there too, like the Syrah.

German wines, in general, tend to be more sweet than most- if you like those, you might try a domestic Reisling (there are some good ones for less than $10) or, if you can find one, a Viognier. Cheers!

Try wines from areas of the world that haven't caught on yet. Try New Zealand, Brazil.

I've always go for Italian, Californian or those Austrailian wines.
Red's for me are Merlot, Cab. Sav. and whites are Pinot Grigio-For the Pino Grigio I get Cavit, Bolla, San Margherita.
