SQLite less than or equal to only returning equal results

I am working on a large database that contains wine names, prices, etc... I want to query a table for all chardonnay that is $10 or less per bottle, but I keep getting results that are $10.

dbGetQuery(db, "SELECT Name, Price FROM Wines
       WHERE price<=10
       AND name LIKE '%Chardonnay%'")

If I query only for Chardonnay I can see there are some under $10

895                                                  Chardonnay    12
896                                          Reserve Chardonnay    16
897                                                  Chardonnay    10
898                                      Wyckoff Vyd Chardonnay    21
899                                          Reserve Chardonnay    29
900                                             Fume Chardonnay     9
901                                 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay    13
902                                          Reserve Chardonnay    11
903                                                  Chardonnay    10
904                                 Woodburne Cuvée Chardonnay    14
905                                                  Chardonnay     7

When I run the above query I get this:

50                               Chardonnay    10
51                               Chardonnay    10 
52                               Chardonnay    10
53                               Chardonnay    10
54                               Chardonnay    10
55                               Chardonnay    10

All 55 results had 10 as the price

I feel like it has to be a formatting issue, but I haven't been able to get it right

SQlite uses dynamic typing and you can insert strings into int columns. Likely your prices are inserted as strings or your price columns is not a number (integer, float) column. Make sure the column is of the right type and your prices values are inserted as the right type.
