Both of these are usually £10. I like them, full of fruit.

Errazuriz make some expensive fine wines, this isn't one of them but at this price it's great value

£4.87
https://groceries.asda.com/product/rioj ... 0003000631
I prefer the Tempanillo but at this price the Garnacha is good

£4.50

Enjoy.

Those should keep busy. Don't be surprised if the other supermarkets follow with their own 25% off deals. If you spot them before I do please let me know and I'll try to pick out the best deals.

Tesco were mentioned today at LBYM:

£4.50

The best of the Casillero Del D budget range in my view. I like it a lot at this price, normally £8
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /274261812
The Malbec from the same range. Try it and see which you prefer.
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /251886407
A decent wine, normally £7.

In my view these are all excellent wines when compared to the competition in their price ranges.

Sainsbury's are now doing 25% off 6. Due to end 3/11.

Here are the highlights.

£6.37

https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/gr ... serva-75cl
This is the same price as at Tesco
https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/gr ... erlot-75cl
Only £6 at Asda and Tesco but if you only shop at Sainsbury's this is still worth the money

£4.50

https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/gr ... -7953670-p

That's about it. Sainsbury's rarely excel at the discount wine offers.

For those who prefer whites, Asda is selling Makaraka Sauvignon Blanc at £4.99.
Definitely not plonk. More rounded than the usual Brancott or Villa Maria but nearly as good (and perhaps even 'longer') than the current Villa Maria Private Bin 2018/19.
A steal at the price.

Thanks very much, I might stock up on a few of those.

I don't drink whites so it would be pointless me trying to post on them. If you have any other suggestions I'm sure they would be very well received.

Jut stocked up on Tesco's offer. Though sadly our local Tesco is a modest size and has a range that's very limited compared to Sainsbury's where I used to live - and whose wine offers have hitherto stocked my rack.

Can't understand the trendy obsession with Sauvignon Blanc. Calls itself dry, but I find it sickly-sweet and disgusting (love a genuine dry white, and also very occasionally also enjoy an honestly-sweet one). Twenty years ago I was hugely impressed by some delicious Hungarian dry whites; since then the Italians and most recently French have really upped their games and brought us some wonderful stuff, largely using hitherto-obscure grapes.

Red wine is still more reliable from the new world, pioneered by Oz, headed by Chile, and with Argentina now a very serious contender. Europe produces many gorgeous reds, but they can be more hit-and-miss if you buy a random "looks interesting" bottle. It would take a lot to beat the Argentinian Malbec I polished off a couple of days ago.

[sg31]

Tesco are at it again. 25% off 6. I'm fully stocked but if you need a top up here are the highlights as far as reds are concerned.

£7.50

Let's splash out. This will challenge yor tastebuds. A proper wine that would benefit from a year or two more in the bottle. The tannin needs to mellow a little but very drinkable. I had to have a second bottle a few days after the first to appreciate the complexity. If you like it buy a dozen and hide them away for a year or two.

£6
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /296704688
A nice Argentinian Malbec. Normally £10, now £6.

£5.25
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /251277604
At this money this is great value. Normally £9

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /295235927
Try this for a change to the wines I normally recommend. Normally £9

£4.87
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /250218971
Always reliable. A good everyday wine.

£4.50
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /254192146
My favourite Casillero Del Diablo

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /274261812
Chilean Malbec from Cas Del D. My taste buds prefer the one above. Yours might prefer this.

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p ... /251886407
A drinkable Chilean Pinot Noir. It won't break the bank.

Tesco are at it again

Thanks for posting these sg31.
Combined with their 10p per litre off fuel it's worth a trip at the moment.

Spend £60 and get 10p off per litre isn't bad at all. Last time I filled up I only put in half a tank just in case. As the vouchers last for about 2 weeks from issue I think I will get about 70 litres in next time.

Thank you for letting me know the posts are useful. I'm never sure if people find them of much value. I do these posts because I go through the offers each time anyway, It only takes me about 15 minutes each time to put it down in a suitable format for the post.

Would they be more useful on a standalone thread, suitably titled, rather on this one?

The original post was in reply to another post on this thread regarding cheap wine. Once I started I thought it better to keep the posts together.

If moderators decide the posts should be rehoused then so be it. I do post on other boards but always feel the snug is my spiritual home on TLF.

Worth going for good wine offers and saving up to £40 (less the 7.99 monthly subscription for CCP)

I looked at Clubcard Plus and decided not to make a decision at that time. I may have to revisit that 'decision'. (it makes sense to me.)

You can get a lot of wine for £400 buying the way I do. I'm not sure my wife would approve or my doctor.

[scrumpyjack]

Almost enough for a month!
