Much of our red wine is not worth the money being asked and in my opinion, cheap cask wine is better than $10< bottled wine.

Depends what you're buying, Some a bad, some very bad - but some are great.
You might go through a few cases before you find one or two you really like.

If you're wine is too rough, then try blended wines. For red, a nice cabernet savignon merlot. For while a semillion savignon blanc. These can be bought for under $10 and are quite palatable. Remember to let your red breath. If you decant it, you don't wait that long!

i always buy my straight from the wine cellar in south australia and in the huter valley i think that buying wine from the maker is cheaper and you get good red wine

You're buying the wrong wine from the wrong place! I get most of my wine through Cellarmasters, and they have plenty of sub-$10 wines- perfectly drinkable. I've tried other wine suppliers (one of the online ones) and one bottle from them was simply awful, with no money-back guarantee like Cellarmasters( which I have used, it's real- having received credit for 2 medium range wines which were not off, just bland and tatseless- a grenache).
