If you are only looking for inexpensive vino go to the dreaded Walmart they have a lot of choices at $2.97 per bottle save the bottles to put your own in eventually. They also have 3l boxes for $9.95. The local winemaking store here will sell you a kit and make your 5 gallon batch for you for less than $100 they do make you save up 30 bottles to put it in when you are done but they walk you through the whole process find one near you and put it on your if you want to give me a present list.
I intend to store my wine in the empty 64 oz bottles of juices that I buy to make my wine. They are sturdy food grade plastic with good screw on caps and if the wine is still fermenting they will bulge out rather than explode like a regular wine bottle could. I take blank stick on labels from an office supply store, write the ingredients used and the date started then stick it on the bottle. Perhaps some day I may get a kit and make something more exotic but for now it's all about cheap and easy.
