I'm not, but there's an unopened bottle of Aldi's red Toro Loco in the cupboard, that might not stay unopened for long - perfect midweek drinking, if you can see past the label: cheap and extremely cheerful  |

"Aldi wine is surprisingly good and the price helps. Red is my only choice, white gives me a really bad headache "
Aldi wine is superior to Tesco wine at the same price due to the higher price mark up at Tesco. |

Wow - you lot drink some really bad wine
Why not splash out and try something good - might redefine what you think good wine is
Don't have to spend much - 20 pounds plus gets you into good stuff |

Just because you drink expensive wine doesn't make it the best, these so called experts choose good wine from £6 to £12. I myself drink Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc and that can range from the one quoted above |

I couldn't justify spending a quarter of my weekly family grocery budget on 1 bottle of wine that's why. There are some perfectly drinkable cheaper wines. I don't need to have my definition of good wine changed. Thanks for the advice though. I'm sure others will appreciate it. |

Each to their own - I guess it's what you enjoy
The problem with sub 6 pound wine is the value of profit, tax, duty and glass means there isn't much left for the wine - often less than 10 pence
At 20 pounds your getting 5-8 pounds spent on the wine |

I wouldn't say 20 pounds is expensive - that's the starting point for good real wine
Oyster bay is mass produced brand with no real terroir |

Well i think there is no other word that describes your attitude to be fair. Your initial post was criticising everyone's poor taste because they don't spend a fortune on wine. If that isn't being a snob then i don't know what is?
And i will enjoy my wine. Thank you. |

You did sound a bit snobby to me to be fair.
If someone spends £5 on a bottle of wine and enjoys it, it's a good wine.
Copy and paste that sentence 3 more times but change the value to £20, £50 and £100.

yes but there are becoming more & more 'mass produced' wines in NZ that are better than their European counterparts, - & a damn sight cheaper too!!
Price range is a guide, not necessarily a rule! |

Which ones are they? The best coming out of NZ are adopting French approach - lower yields - lower sulphur - terroir based and more restrained than the usual fruit bombs |
