As one who drinks plenty of wine yet never spends £8 a bottle... i decided to give this one a try. Where do i send an invoice if it's not up to my usual high standard?... I recently found I quite enjoy ALDI's Grande Alberone Zinfandel (~£8 a bottle) ...
Very interesting. I have just been totting up the results and, ~£8 from Aldi/Lidl sensee to be the prevailing logic.As one who drinks plenty of wine yet never spends £8 a bottle... i decided to give this one a try. Where do i send an invoice if it's not up to my usual high standard?
Empties of Vina Cristina often grace my recycling bin, as does Animus Douro and the orange label chianti... all about a fiver from Aldi. I'm not claiming they're 'good' wines but they're affordable and satisfy my not very fussy palette... pallet... palate... that's the one!Very interesting.

What's your go to wine?
I've seen that before but it's not 'info', it's palpable nonsense. If the 'wine value' drops between £4.95 and £3.99 at the same rate it's been dropping from £6.95 to £5.95 (-7%) and from £5.95 to £4.95 (-9%) by the time a wine costs £3.99, the 'wine value' must be in negative figures. Well I had a bottle of Cotes du Rhone from Lidl that cost me £3.99, and I can assure you its 'value' was a lot more than quite a lot less than bugger all.
If you want to pay a tenner a bottle, good luck to you - I'm sure you'll get a nice tipple. But there are actually lots of very nice wines for a fiver or less, and to suggest otherwise suggests to me that someone somewhere (not you, I hasten to add) has a vested interest, and one that's better served by misleading graphics than by real information.
primativo is the italian name for the zinfandel grape (or, probably, t'other way around)…On a serious note, Californian Zinfandel is worth a try in the same price range, or Primativo or Nero D'avalo
from southern italy

"How do you find a half decent wine" ? thats easy , come and live near me in SW France. For every day ( or maybe all day) drinking, we buy from a local vineyard, an ACC red 13.5 % Cahors wine in a 10 Ltr box for the princely sum of €22 , call it £20.....
