I’ll admit that I’m a complete philistine when it comes to wines.
If I were to enter a posh restaurant and order a bottle of Cherry Lambrini, I’m presuming that I’d receive some decidedly filthy looks from the upper echelon patrons though, right?
Anyhoo, what is your personal favourite wine and how much are you willing to spend on a bottle? |

No a wine snob here but I do like certain things. More of a red fan, though I can be swayed by a nice Pinot Grigio or Viognier.
My recent discovery was Valpolicella Ripasso from Morrisons.. for .. drum roll.. 8 pounds ! Bargain. And so flavoursome.
Ps. Prosecco rules. |

We used to buy some very nice wine in Tesco for about £3:99 o can't remember the name. We also went to a wedding recently where they served a gorgeous pink sparkling wine, everyone was asking what it was. It was £2:99 a bottle from Aldi.
Having said that we once drank an extremely expensive bottle of white wine and you could tell the difference. |

Depends what you like and your own palette. I like red. A cheaper white can be drinkable if well chilled but red is different and always best to pay a little extra for a better one. For example, you can't go wrong with a nice Barolo. It varies in price considerably but Morisons have a good one on offer at the moment for £14. Other supermarkets have similar ones. There are also some good malbec ones out there as someone already mentioned. I also like a good rioja but has to be at the higher end. Having said all that, I often had some fantastic house wine at a fraction of the price and always good checking that out. Most good restaurants will let you try it to see if its for you. |

I prefer Asti Spumante to champagne
I like white wines that lack character and mix well with lemonade
An eatery in town used to serve red wine mixed with cranberry juice and soda water
That was tasty too
Yup, another Philistine here |

I’m lucky to live in a great wine growing region of Italy, where all the Montepulciano D’Abbruzzo comes from, but there are a lot of other wines of the region that aren’t well know like Trebbiano, Passerina and Pecorino. So wine is inexpensive here, I just picked up four bottles earlier at the supermarket for six euros, and a litre of house wine in local restaurants tends to be about four or five euros, so I’m definitely spoiled in terms of good inexpensive wine. |

My fave is Marlborough sauvignon blanc and I've paid 25 for a bottle and yes, it was far superior than a supermarket bottle. But that's for special occasions. My every day choices are cheaper Marlborough at up to 9 quid and a californian rose for 4.89!!
Currently drinking pinot noir which was a gift. |

Laithwaites Black Stump is my fav wine at around £10-15 a bottle depending on year/reserve but I’m partial to Jam Shed at £6 bottle
Expensive doesn’t necessarily always taste great! you go with what you know you like or ask for a recommendation from a waiter/waitress or if you go really posh.. a sommelier |

White: I like to go for a Sauvignon Blanc. Mud House, about around £10 is a fave.
Red: a bottle of Rioja, like Campo Riejo Reserva, again, around £10/bottle
Fizz: nothing beats Laurent Perrier Rose champagne. About £60/bottle and worth every drop. The white is pretty good too.

I should have also mentioned my penchant for German wines, and this years Christmas dinner was washed down with a Black Tower, which just happened to be on promotion at Morrison's two for a tenner. However, since the behaviour of the French towards this country, I won't have French wine in the house, and a few of us boycotting their Dordogne dish water, as well as cancelling orders for Renaults and Peugeots would soon have that lot creeping round us with their tails between frogs legs. |

I recently had a bottle of “Vina Sol” white wine which was delicious!"
Although I mainly drink red, I agree that for the price is quite good and refreshing with a nice aroma. It used to be quite popular 5/10 years ago in spanish restaurants but not seen it much around these days. |

Remember that the bottle of wine that you buy in the supermarket or wine merchant a large amount is tax, there is carriage, profit to all in the chain, so any cheap wine only leaves a few pence for the actual wine.
Find a variatal that you like and pays couple of pounds more and those two pounds get you a much better wine. |

You can have reds chilled and whites at room temperature. It’s all fermented grape juice and colour comes from the addition or not of ripe skins.
But generally reds pair well with steak say, though colder whites go better with spicy foods.
Horses for courses or whatever takes your fancy?

If I want something quaffable and red I would go for a Beaujolais (villages or cru), it’s uncomplicated, low on tannins and has a fresh berry flavour (almost like grape juice but not too sweet) - expect a good bottle between £8-£20
I will drink a French Malbec if I want something a little challenging in flavour (between£10-£20). I avoid new world wines
For white I would either go Chenin-Blanc or Chablis both are crisp and clean and avoid the buttery flavour of Chardonnay which isn’t to my palette. I will also go for a Sancerre or Verdicchio, all 4 of these wines can come at a variety of price points but £20-30 is about right.
For dessert wine I would always go for a Hungarian Tokaji which is usually expensive (£50+) Tokaji benefits from age, the older the better, but the price point is high.
My usual drink in the winter is Beaujolais and in the summer Chenin-Blanc

My partner is a bit of a connoisseur. He buys wine direct from the vinyards and wine producers. Won't touch supermarket wines. When we met years ago i thought he was a bit of a wine snob, thought red wines were disgusting but he introduced me to some and he knows exactly my taste and he knows his wines. He can taste a wine and knows immediately if I'd like it, quite scary really. Sent back quite a few much to.the consternation of the waiters.
Somtimes it can be a little embarrassing.
Restaurants put a high mark-up on cheap wine with expensive sounding names
Restaurants we visit regularly these days, don't even try
The only thing he will say is this red wine for red meat, white wine for white meat/fish is bollocks. The wine has to complement the food, whatever wine |

I haven't seen Lambrini on sale anywhere for ages.
Generally though with wines, whiskies etc there is a certain level of diminishing returns, after a while you are paying for rarity rather than quality. One of my friends is a highly qualified sommelier who has worked in some of London's top restaurants and through him I've been lucky enough to taste some excellent wines that would normally be well out of my budget. One of the nicest wines I've had was a Cabernet Sauvignon from New York (upstate) - it cost a whopping £125 for the bottle!
I also attended a couple of blind tasting events where a range of wines were sampled from £5 to £500 à bottle, and almost always the nicest tasting ones tended to come out at the £50-100 mark. Still way too expensive for me but it did go to show that after a certain point you're just chucking money away and not getting a better experience. |

It's so subjective people pretending to be rich or showing off will pick the most expensive where as those that are humble will pick what they like.
A £40 bottle of double mellowed tastes better than a bottle of Pappy Van winkle, 20yr family reserve
To me anyway.

The most I have spent is £83 but that was in a posh restaurant where wine is overpriced. Between 10–15 would get you a very nice wine but even less can be really good but it an individual’s choice,everybody has different taste buds and preferences. Sancerre is a good white and chateauneuf du pap for red |

Interesting fact I didn't know.
£5 Bottle supermarket Wine has 35p of wine in it. The rest of the cost is Bottling, Labeling, Marketing and distribution.
£10 bottle wine has at least £4 of wine in it.
A lot of cheap wines have lots of additives, also grapes are used from many different sources for mass production, as they are based on a grape type not quality. More expensive wines are usually made from grapes of the same vineyard.
Just useless bit of information I picked up

A lot of years ago I discovered Chateau Beychevelle, a French Bordeaux, a St Julien.
I payed about £26
It was stunningly good and I still buy it to this day though the last bottle I bought was last year from Burns in Clitheroe and cost £99.. it is in the wine rack ready to be opened!
I had a chateau Mouton Rothschild a few years ago which I picked up at a bargain £120 and it was fantastic, but that stuff has become unaffordable … I have just seen a bottle advertised on Berry Brothers for £350! |

You know the taste of wine can be altered by temperature and aeration; it is possible to make a seemingly unpalatable red taste significantly better. Just pour the wine into a jug while making sure to generate as much foam as possible. Leave it at room temperature for a while and keep aerating the stuff by transferring it between jugs. Believe me it will taste a great deal smoother after it has been allowed to breathe. I also depends on what you are eating while drinking, that can have a massive bearing on your palate; I for one cannot eat chocolate while drinking wine.
With regards to white wine, for me they don't need to be so warm or aerated, in fact some of them are improved by being cold as you can get them without freezing. But that's just my taste, ad yours may be different entirely.
My taste buds tell me that cab sav is full of tannins and shiraz is a great deal smoother yet B thinks otherwise.
No one person can tell you that your taste is wrong; it is unique to you.
I can tell you from experience that the wines all taste better from the cellar door.
After a bottle of whatever you are drinking your taste buds aren't so discerning anyway.
