Little ole wine drinker me (us?)

[Joey Shabadoo]

As I mature, I have outgrown the ales of callow youth and progressed onto wine - red wine, proper grown up wine. But alas I know nothing about it so tend to buy according to what bottle has the nicest label. This has led to mixed results, unsurprisingly.

So, let this be a thread where those who know, educate and those who don't know, experiment. Tell us what you're going to imbibe, where you got it (so others can find it) and let us know the results.

Last night I had this £6.50 job from Lidl

Very nice it was too. Not overly rich but smooth and very more-ish. Will get again.


Tonight I shall be trying this, an £11 effort from Lidl again.

I'm with you there. I tend to stick to Aussie reds, which is boring but I like them.

My favourites are Montepulciano d’Abbruzzo, Valpolicella Ripasso and Chianti. There’s not a great difference whether you get them in Lidl or Waitrose.

This was very nice, again from Lidl

Lidl again - ok, nothing special

Morrisons - very nice and would certainly buy again

Try 19 crimes it's an amazing wine around £8.00 a bottle.
Theres 3 varieties and they are all excellent.

I found this a lovely tipple. Will definitely buy again.

This is also a great drop to try, normally buy between £6 & £7

Going to enjoy reading this thread 🍷🍷🍷

The Yellow Tail Chardonnay is very good.

Yellow Tail wines are good.

French Red for me, Cote du Rhone, Chateau Neuf du Pape, or a Claret/St Emillion.
