Four cracking New World wines.
Despite the current run of good value wines from Europe, let me show you four New World bottles that are also very attractively priced; some will come as a surprise.
High value beats low price every time
My quarry on this website is not the cheapest wine – but bottles that cost significantly less than their quality seems to justify. Here are some that hit that spot well.
Get ahead of the trend this summer
Summer drinking tends to be predictable – so let’s find amazing alternatives to those muscular barbecue-resistant reds and ever present sauvignon blancs.
Superstars from Lidl’s Summer Collection
Lidl’s latest wine collection has been unveiled and, as before, there are some great – and sometimes unusual – wines to savour. An excellent Iberian trio will, I think, be enjoyed by most drinkers – and their bank managers.
Beefy BBQ reds from Tesco
National Barbecue Week finishes on Sunday but it is not too late to pull some BBQ friendly, well priced reds from the current round of Tesco promotions.
Survival Plans for Prosecco Shortage.
Usually convenience store wine shelves mean limited choice, higher prices and – sometimes – patchy quality. Come with me though to a retailer represented in most towns and villages that skilfully averts all three of those drawbacks and also has a great option for any prosecco famine.
Something for everyone at Waitrose
Catch up with the varied and reliable batch of promotions that Waitrose have assembled for the rest of May. I have pinpointed four particularly strong examples but there are many more in store to engage the incurable wine browser.
Sainsbury’s see May out with cracking discounts
Inexpensive Bordeaux wine often seems an oxymoron but the latest Sainsbury’s promotion (along with its bulk buy discount where it applies) turns it into reality. I have pinpointed three of the region’s wines that, to me, illustrate the point perfectly.
My picks from current offers at three supermarkets
With a whole range of supermarket promotions to dazzle and confuse, here is a short list of the best of the current bunch. Put them in your trolley’s sat nav for days when there is time for little beyond “grab and go” shopping.
Four good reasons to boldly go ……
As the premium discounters make the market for conventional wine more challenging, so established retailers are experimenting with more unorthodox – and sometimes exotic – wines. Here are four of them that are particularly tasty – and reduced in price too.
