Wow. I think the Ménage goes for 9 or 10 bucks here.
 
I would second Yellow Tail as being the worst - the only wine I have actually poured down the drain.

A number of good choices in my market for $7.99:

Newman's Own Napa Cabernet Sauvignon
Gnarly Head OVZ
Rosemount Estate Shiraz
Tilia Cabernet Sauvignon
 
Bama is so state controlled on there spirits it's hard to find anything cheap that's good unless you make it yourself. ...I will say our publix grocery here has a good selection

Which yellow tail? I drink a lot of their cab-Shiraz, I think it's delicious.

Crane Lake Pinot Noir
$4.99

It is light, drinkable and the bottle is a keeper.
I mostly use as a topper and drink the rest

Otherwise Jacobs Creek shiraz which around here sells about $7.99 a bottle.

Both are drinkable.

I dont buy bad any wine for under $8,
But I used to drink Yellow Tail, alot and never had a huge issue with it.
I guess now that I have been drinking alot more wine, Yellow tail falls on the lower end of the spectrum.
 
The Andresons General Store Columbus and Toledo

La Lapin - Multiplicity , Lower end label of Rabbit Ridge, its a GSM for 7.99.

Really quite good.

Worst:
Locations F-4 - ok I cheated a little because this cost me $14, but it is just too awful not to mention - maybe I got a bad bottle
