BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO has invited Macedonia to start membership talks, a step toward adding its 30th member despite Russia's objection and a show of unity at a time of growing discord between the Trump administration and Europe. The invitation Wednesday came at a NATO summit at which U.S. President Donald Trump demanded more military spending by some allegedly deadbeat allies, as countries like Canada and Britain committed more to new manpower than new money. Macedonia was given a pathway to membership on condition that it finally iron out its years-long standoff over its name with Greece, which took a big step forward with their deal last month that could rename the country North Macedonia.

[sparkling wine]cameravox / Flickr If you’re a wine drinker, you know that a lot of restaurant wine lists and wine-shop selections cater to a deep-pocketed clientele. If you’re trying to drink high-quality stuff on a reasonable budget, it’s easy to feel like you’re fighting a losing battle. But it doesn’t have to be that way. INSIDER spoke with a group of bartenders, wine servers, and beverage directors from across the country, all of whom offered personal-favorite bottles that ring in for 20 bucks or less. SANGIOVESE IS A GREAT RED. Shutterstock/Evgeniy pavlovski The red Tuscan grape behind Italian-restaurant staples like Chianti and Brunello, Sangiovese produces wines with pointed acidity and ripe fruit flavor that pair beautifully with an giant bowl of pasta. Of course, these well-established wines often come at a steep price. According to Benjamin Appleby, sommelier at Abe & Louie’s in Boston, name recognition does a lot to inflate these bottle prices: "In Tuscany, Brunello di Montalcino is king, and the price tag reflects that renown," Appleby told INSIDER. "However, there are many lesser known, and therefore less expensive, Sangiovese based wines from Tuscany and the surrounding regions that are absolutely delicious." But no need to worry: if you’re planning a romantic "Lady and the Tramp"-style spaghetti dinner (or just want something nice to drink with your delivery pizza), you can get in on the Sangiovese action without shelling out for high-end Super Tuscan. Wanna try a Tuscan Sangiovese for less than a twenty? Try Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino ($18.99), a particular favorite of Appleby’s. He calls it "complex but very approachable, with more fruit and less mustiness than its "big brother" Brunello. Rosso is intended to be a more casual drinking experience. It's fresher, needs less aging, and doesn't require a long time in a decanter to open up." XINOMAVRO MIGHT BE A NEW FAVORITE FOR YOU. Matt Cardy / Stringer / Getty Images If you like the taste of Italian reds but want to try something a bit more under-the-radar, Xinomavro, a popular grape in Greece and Macedonia, may be just the thing for you. "If you like Nebbiolo, but you don’t feel like springing for a bottle of Barolo or Barbaresco, I recommend checking out Greece’s native Xinomavro. Greek wines are experiencing a renaissance of quality, and Xinomavro is a big part of the reason why. Medium in body, it still has a wonderful, mouth-watering acidity and plenty of tannic structure, making it a great food wine," raves Greg DeForest Campbell, wine server at Corkbuzz in New York City. If you want to take Xinomavro for a trial run, its low price makes that an easy endeavor. DeForest Campbell suggests Thymiopoulos Young Vines Xinomavro Naoussa ($14.99), a well-balanced red with pointed acidity that pairs beautifully with late-summer BBQ eats. GAMAY IS A LIGHT RED. Flickr/Sharon Mollerus A lightweight red varietal from the Burgundy region of France, Gamay is often compared to Pinot Noir both because they’re grown in similar areas and because they’re relatively-delicate red wines that pair equally well with a juicy lamb chop or a grilled fish. According to sommelier Tim Wallace of Stowe Mountain Lodge in Stowe, Vermont, you can find affordable bottles of Gamay from its home country of France or from newer plantings in the United States. "Gamay is the grape that I want to drink every day. The style of the wine can vary wildly, there are bright, light, fun, gluggable (or ‘glou glou’ in French slang) options all the way up to serious, single vineyard Cru options with everything delicious in between. Traditionally hailing from Burgundy, Gamay is starting to see a surge of plantings in America with exciting results. When it comes to a fun, easy-drinking yet affordable everyday wine, you just can't go wrong with Gamay," Wallace explained. Wallace considers Gamay grown in the Willamette Valley a particularly solid buy, and he’s partial to the Bow & Arrow Gamay ($18.99). "I absolutely love everything that winemaker Scott Frank makes, but I just keep reaching for another bottle of this beautiful wine time after time. Everything Mr. Frank does is sourced from small, sustainably grown vineyards in the blue collar Willamette Valley. The liveliness in this bottle that comes from bright, mineral acidity and notes of bright berries lends itself to anything from slices of watermelon on the beach to my dad's famous barbecue grilled chicken. When it's 100 degrees outside, go ahead and drink it chilled and it's as refreshing as your favorite rose," Wallace told INSIDER.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The Latest on the NATO summit (all times local): 5:30 p.m. NATO leaders have formally invited Macedonia to start membership talks with the alliance, while cautioning that it can't be completed until the name issue is resolved. The invitation, formalized in a communique at the NATO summit, paves the way for the addition of the alliance's 30th member — and a plan that has run afoul of a wary Russia. Macedonia and Greece last month signed a deal in which Macedonia will change its name to Northern Macedonia. In exchange, Athens has unblocked efforts by its northern neighbor to join both NATO and the European Union.
