Time for another Wine Thread

[Niigata Jack]

For all who buy their wines at ALDI and Lidl's, what do you recommend in Red's and Whites?

We usually buy from Tesco or Morrisons, usually from the Yellow Tail range, Shiraz, Merlot, Malbec etc, tried a Dark Horse Malbec last week very nice, Tesco's Finest range seems to have stopped its not been on their shelves for a good while, Apothic have produced a Merlot now, that's very nice.

Come on all you Wine Bods

These are both Lidl, Max. Under seven quid a bottle and both perfectly drinkable. I try and keep a few of each in the rack.

If you want something a bit more “upmarket”, Tescos finest was 25% off six the other day (not sure why Swansea wouldn’t have any finest? Loads here.) The Rioja (reserve or, better, gran reserve) is very decent for the price with 25% off. It’s from Baron de Ley. High quality vineyard, that one.

Aldi no idea. Lidl’s Barolo is shite.

 

[Malaga]

Don't know where you'd find it there but almost any Ribera del Duero is normally smooth and more than acceptable

The 25% off offer is still running.

There's no Tesco Finest in Tesco Neath Abbey or Llansamlet,

Day off tomorrow so I’m having a Piccini Memoro this evening. It’s one of our regulars and I usually buy a dozen when it’s 25% off in Tesco. It’s about the best I’ve tried for sub £9.

If you want a class white wine, try the white rioja Campo Viejo which they sell in Morrisons. It's about 7 quid a bottle, but it's not much cheaper in Spain.

Baron De Ley's white Rioja is nice too. Love their normal rioja too (they also supply tesco finest rioja reserva and gran reserva, which is very good but not quite their 'proper' stuff so cheaper but excellent value).
