If you are interested in a good, inexpensive wine, try Trakia Merlot.
It's from Bulgaria, and is suprisingly good, considering the $2.99 price
tag.  In fact, it has won several gold medals at various wine tastings,
beating out many more expensive wines.  We can get it here in Ohio,
so I imagine it is available in most areas.

Also, try and keep an eye out for a Beaujolais Nouveau.  They are always 
available for <$5 and are a wonderful summer wine (serve slightly chilled).

For a nice <$5 white, try a Vouvray.  They're generally available for $4.00
or so, have a smooth, slightly sweet taste, and go well with a wide variety
of food.

In general, you can also find a German Kabinett for <$5, particularly
from recent vintages.  The 81's and 82's are available, reasonably
priced and quite good.  When the 83's come out (and that should be soon) 
snap them up too (83 will be a superb year for German wines - the best since 
76).
