As far as cheap whites go, there are more options. The best bang for your buck in Canadian whites is probably Calona Vineyards' Sovereign Opal, which is usually $13-$14.

But if you really want to stock up well, you're best served heading out to the Okanagan in the summer, doing a wine tour, and buying what you like. It's a fun process, and your collection will be a personal one - full of wines you know you like.
Seconded re Malbec and re Okanagan tours. We came back with 2 crates of wine from our last visit.
