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!

A real treat for you today with top tips on where good value wines might abound in Australia from Kym Milne – a prestigous wine maker as well as an MW – along with my own pointers on tremendous options back here in Blighty.
