Never tried either.  White or red?

Not a white fan.  Prefer a jammy, peppery, medium tannin red.

No racist remarks

Can't beat Trader Joe's two buck chuck for value but a good 12-15.00 favorite for me is the Coppola Chardonnay.

Santa Margherita is a good Pinot.
Not sure about 'cheap'.

You might also enjoy a Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region (NZ)
Cloudy Bay comes to mind.

franzia and mad dog would often find themselves in my rotation in high school, just cuz you could get retarded for 2 bucks.  we'd rip the franzia guts out of the box and walk around like drunk vikings and suck on the bag at parties.

didn't get laid much.

It's probably ok after your palate has been polluted, otherwise  :-\ ick

They have a few under $10 that are much better.
