I drink mostly California red wine. Cabs and zins. The cali wines in BVI are expensive and hard to get. Wife drinks whites. Mostly chards. Looking for recommendations for good wine brands at a good price point given the availability and costs to get them to the islands.

I don't about specific labels, but your best bet for a decent selection would probably be Caribbean Cellars and The French Deli (located just outside the Moornings base)....but don't set your hopes too high.

The wife had the same problem.
She has been successfully using one of these for years. Minimal or no tariff when checking thru BVI customs.
