Cooking wine that is sold in a grocery store is lower in alcohol and contains salt to make it undrinkable. I would never use it for cooking because I don't like the taste it imparts. I only use a decent wine I would drink myself - one cup for the recipe, one cup for me.
As far as whites under $20 my go to is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Besides Oyster Bay and Kim Crawford that have already been mentioned I also like Babich, The Ned and Monkey Bay.

Excellent thread!! I was such a noob a few years ago but thanks to iYellow Wine club I have learned to enjoy a good amount of VQA Ontario Wines.
1 of my go to White's is always Meglomaniac Narcissist riesling. I am not much of a white drinker but this is a must!! Trius Pinot Grigio is lovely on a warm sunny day.
Whenever I go to the LCBO I always grab a couple of bottles of Creekside Shiraz. a Big bold red that is just delicious.
I always look for Cocha Y Toro winemaker's lots in the vintage section, I started out with Chilean wines so I like to go to that from time to time.

Hmm, I usually stay at or under $10 - there are good Italian and South American table wines at this price - the ones they often sell in Restaurants at $8-9 per glass!
For robust pizza and barbecue, almost any listed Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine is good. Citra and Spinelli for example. It is embarrassingly cheap! I always try and keep a few on hand.
Or any Chile/Argentina merlot, cabernet, or cabernet/merlot is worth trying. When I run the bar at our church dinners people really seem to like these and feel they are drinking a decent wine. I don't spend more than $10.95 for our bar.
For dinner parties, I have recently been serving Folonari Pinot Noir at $14.95 unless we are serving spicy food or barbecue. It is a lighter wine that suits my taste and most guests' as well. I don't think a wine connoisseur would think much of it but we don't have many of them for dinner here We usually think of Burgundy for Pinot Noir, but this Italian version is very pleasant.
