Enthusiasm for The Wine Society is high among trade insiders (and those MidWeekers who are members) so here is a snapshot of what’s great among two of the Society’s popular collections – along, of course, with the Best of the Rest and the monthly look at Sunday Best wines.

Another Lidl promotion starts today putting the spotlight on Eastern Europe (with a Tokaji that rivals anything at its price point this summer) along with the usual Best of the Rest and a Top Tip on boxed wines.

Three tasty –and good value – options from M&S for you to relish today along with the usual Best of the Rest and a Top Tip about tannin.

Today, we look at some excellent prize winners sourced by the Co-op and couple them with great Best of the Rest choices and a Top Tip about becoming a wine judge.

See my top picks from the promotion that starts at Sainsbury’s today along with soft malbec (but not from Argentina), lovely chardonnay (with a dash of oak) and a wine route through the Garden of England.

To coincide with their good financial results, today’s spotlight goes on wines from Majestic and couples that feature with our usual Best of the Rest selections and the Sunday Best choices for special occasions.

Today’s post picks the bones out of the Tesco promotion that starts this morning – highlighting for you wines in the £5.50 to £7 mark – and steering you towards excellent Best of the Rest options from other retailers plus a neat trick for cooling wine.

While there are three £5.99 wines featured today, we also take a more detailed look at a retailer with a very strong mid range collection. Don’t forget the Best of Rest options too and a timely Top Tip.

Memorable wines from Asda for you to try this week (including two unusual Italian whites and a great £6 carmenere) – along with the usual Best of the Rest feature and my monthly “Sunday Best” look at more expensive wines.

The third special “Wine Tour” promotion of 2018 starts in Lidl today and I have selected seven of its highlights to feature PLUS an opportunity to secure Oz Clarke’s excellent new book with a 20% discount for MidWeekers!
