White Wine

[Cooperman]

Now that Lidl has been mentioned…
You’ll have to go a long way to find a bottle of red this good for five quid, give or take. Had a load of the 2020 vintage but finished the last one yesterday, then started on these from 2021 which is just as good.

As happens occasionally through her work my missus got gifted a bottle of wine recently. I was straight onto the Vivino app to see whether it was worth hanging onto. £130 a bottle. Lordy.

I proudly announced this to some guests who burst out laughing. "We've seen that for about eight quid in Tesco".

After they'd left I was straight back onto Vivino and there it was for £7.95.

What's going on there, then?

In general, the app isn’t very good. In your specific case it’s either incorrectly identified the wine, or routed you to a seller who wants to try and rip you off. Funny story, you might get ribbed for this for a while .

Looks good, Coops, another Navarra wine. Everybody raves about Rioja, but for me the neighbouring region of Navarra produces stuff just as slurpable.

Ribera del Duero is better than rioja generally, for cheap and cheerful the merlot in mercadona is not too shabby either

Yellow Tails Merlot and their Malbec goes down well here, it used to be the Shiraz.

Their Pino Grigio and their White Jammy roo is pleasant enough as well.

Haul ass down to Lidl, Max. This bottle above is as nice as YT and two quid cheaper.

I concur. Have been to Pamplona a few times with work and always enjoyed a slurp in the evening. I’m possibly a little biased because of it.
