Invivo X SJP Sauvignon Blanc named Top 10 Best Value Wines of the Year by USA’s Wine Spectator Magazine
Each year Wine Spectator magazine taste well over 10,000 wines to come up with their Top 10 Value wines of the year. Invivo was honoured to be included at number 9 in the Top 10 list for 2025 named by Wine Spectator on January 9, 2026. The only New Zealand wine to feature in the list.
To be featured in the list, Wine Spectator states “There is no formula for identifying great value when it comes to wine. Growing conditions, vintage variations, winemaking styles and personal tastes can change from year to year, making hard-and-fast rules difficult to pin down. What is clear is that producers around the world are making a range of high quality wines at affordable prices. That’s why, for the fifth year in a row, we’ve enlisted our team of editors to select the top values of the past 12 months. How do wineries keep their costs down and their production figures up? It’s different from region to region, but our selection process focuses on wines that express the distinctive character of an appellation or variety while keeping prices low through innovative methods in the vineyard and cellar.
This list is capped by our choice for Wine Value of the Year. All of the wines rated 90 points or higher on Wine Spectator’s 100-point scale, cost $40 or less and were made in large enough quantities to be widely available, the wines on this list showcase top-tier wine growing regions at their most wallet-friendly.
