Something for the weekend
Jump to: Newest in thread
Go on then, it's nearly the bank holiday weekend. Current recommendations please for good but relatively inexpensive wine (less than £15), white or red so everyone can stock their rack or fridge 
Beer lovers- this is a wine thread  |

I’ve just commented on a couple and I think they’ve all had the opening post deleted |

I agree and certainly that is very true for red wine. I like to present a challenge and there are sometimes some real gems out there.  |

Waitrose sells a pretty decent bottle of valpolicella - just under £15. Let it breathe/decant it if wanted to but it's not bad if you drink it straight away. Think it's part of their No 1 range? |

Stick with French wine if you can. The inexpensive ones - ie under a tenner are still reasonable quality. I like a French Sauvignon the best but you can find a decent Chardonnay and loads of different reds. Between £8 and £12.
They have less sulphites so I can actually drink them. New world wines tend to be full of crap from how they’re filtered so can definitely give you a worse hangover.
All the supermarkets have good ranges of these and it’s just about finding what style of wine you like the best.
Just my 2p worth having been a Beer, Wines and Spirits buyer for over 10 years.
But wine is subjective. Find what you like and go with that.
Happy bank holiday  |

How about a Cahor red? Greatly undervalued and you’ll get a belter for that money. Or for something lighter, a Chinon/Loire red? Failing those, doa little research and I’m sure you’ll get a decent Languedoc for that money . |
