I highly recommend the following bargain wines (in no particular order - prices are LCBO and should be current as of posting)

La Cetto Petite Syrah 02 (Mexico)- $9.95 CDN (supremely fruity)
Hippo Creek Merlot 01 (South Africa) - 11.95 CDN (iodine and plums, in a good way. They are selling the 02 now, but it should be just as good)
Chateau de Gourgazaud 03 (Minervois) - $11.95 CDN (classically styled syrah-mourvedre blend ready to drink now)
Mission Hill Five Vineyards Pinot Noir 02 (Okanagan Valley, Canada) - $13.95 (for my money, better and cheaper than the Mondavi Private Selection Pinot 02).

Wine International (UK) has the Great Value awards, which is a good source of tips - http://www.wineint.com/story.asp?sectioncode=8&storyCode=1498 - check it out.
Decanter magazine (also UK) has its World Wine Awards, which is sorted into various categories, including the under-�10 award (approx 15$US-?) - it can be viewed here - http://www.decanter.com/worldwineawards/dwwa_search.php?qsearch=autp .

That said, living in Ontario under the liquor monopoly, a lot of the wines listed on the UK sites are not available, or not such great bargains if they are. Caveat emptor.

We would really like to hear what you have to say
