Great value Sainsbury’s and Co-op fizz

Having cast my eye over two promotions that started this week – at the Co-op and Sainsbury’s – here is some well priced (and well made) champagne to help you toast the arrival of spring.

A Trio of Tasty Whites from M&S

The M&S promotions that started yesterday combines well made whites at entry point prices with at least one unconventional wine that will startle and delight by turns

The Finest* range scores well in the new Tesco promotions.

Over a hundred Tesco wines began a three week price reduction yesterday or this morning and here are the “must buy” components. Outside Scotland the promotion coincides with a further 25% multi buy offer that brings some of these commended wines down to a mere £4.50 a bottle.
