Wine!

I'll be looking out for them Merve.  I tend to favour red.  When I go for white, it's often a sparkling.  There's a nice Aldi Prosecco - the one I like is £9.99 a bottle (Collezione Oro).... and there's a cheaper Co-op one with a bluish label about £8.  I just wished I could remember what it's called...  😀

We tried a Tesco £9 champagne recently, one to avoid. 😒

I will probably have avoided that Brue, in any case, on the basis that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is... 🙂🙂  Thanks for the heads up.

Not seen any £9 champagne, perhaps it was a special.😀

We particularly like this Rhone red from the Coop. Not particularly cheap at £7.75 but compares with wines much more expensive. It's a combination of Grenache and Syrah, very smooth, rich and full bodied. Excellent with a nice rare  fillet steak.😋 From time to time, they nock £1 / £2 off the price of selected wines, so will keep an eye out. 😳

I'll look out for the Cote du Rhone, Steve.

Steve, apologies I got the bottle sizes wrong, it should have been a larger one at a higher price.

Enjoyed a really nice red last night,   a 2016 San Lucas  Malbec from Argentina,  a really full bodied lovely wine. Also like yourself Merve have enjoyed the Waxed Bat and Black Stump many times.  Look out for the 25% off six bottles at Sainsburys.

Cote du Rhone is one of our favourite wines and we have drunk our fair share over the years. However I would not have classed any of them as full bodied?Perhaps I don't understand the term?  I appreciate that there are Cote du Rhone and Cote du Rhone, sometimes made with different grapes but I generally find most Rhone wines quite light. Argentinian Malbac would fit my description of a full bodied wine which I really like but Margaret thinks is too heavy! I will see if they have the wine mentioned by Steve in our local Co-Op.

Hi,

Really nice wines at Aldi at the moment. A Malbec Syrah from France and a sauvignon blanc from the same winery,

£4,69 a bottle great value.

I used to be a snobby about Aldi wines, but having tried a few bottles of late, my view has changed. ‘Animus’ from Portugal is very good and at about £5 excellent value. A good quaffing red.
