Plonk
While the term "cheap red wine" is also correct, if you want a more specific and shorter term, you can use "plonk", which has the same connotations as "tintorro", that is, a cheap, low-quality wine. It really depends on the context, and on whether the emphasis of the content is on the fact the wine is red, or on its price and quality.

rotgut, redeye, plonk...
In UK English, 'plonk' means inferior wine, most commonly collocated with "cheap" ("cheap plonk" gets over 24,000 Google hits).
'Redeye' originally meant "raw and inferior whiskey" (1819, American English) but can describe any cheap booze.
Rotgut... is pretty much self-explanatory.
And depending on the target audience, you might use familiar regional tipples, for example "Buckfast" (Buckie) is a popular tonic wine in more deprived parts of the UK.

Another term from my winebibbing hometown is "scud", although many dictionaries mistakenly claim it's "Scotland's other national drink":
8.(slang, Scotland) Irn-Bru.A bottle of Scud

: Yes, probably better register, with the proviso noted by Charles. :-) /../ N.B. the tautology, or pleonasm, rather, matches better with the register of "tintorro", in itself a derogative of "tinto"...
