I know there are several wine lovers on here, so I thought it might be a good idea to have a place to discuss and share each others favourite tipple.
A wine I have recently taken to is Barefoot Merlot. A Californian wine, full bodied wine with a blueberry and plumb flavour. Really worth a try. We get it from the Co-op at a little less than £7 a bottle.

This is the one I want to visit when things open up, they have done well with their awards and I'm drawn to the cafe too! 
It's the Langham estate in Dorset HERE so not far from us, we're even nearer to the Furleigh estate so another one to consider if you're down this way.
Posted on 20/03/2021 21:45 by viatoremI find this Aldi wine very drinkable with or without food. Animus Douro £5.49
Not the blended one!
The white Verde is also good

This is our choice of standard glugging. Good stuff and as you say better than the Blended stuff, which I unfortunately picked up in haste last time I was in Aldi.
Used to be found below £5 but not any more.
Just as an aside for those coming into Wales and buying alcohol here, or even those living here and unaware of the conditions, then a note of caution. MiL bought 6 bottles of her favourite sweet wine today after seeing a banner outside advertising 25% off 6. However this only applies if the wine costs more than £7 per bottle. When she queried it she was told it's Welsh Assembly rules that have set this barrier not Tesco.

Posted on 28/03/2021 12:18 by moulesySainsburys have their "buy 6 (or more) get 25% off" offer again, started today.
By combining it with Nectar points I've just stocked up on a dozen bottles of our favourites ..... for £1.12.
Well, it would have been rude not to, wouldn't it?
Posted on 28/03/2021 21:05 by DSBThat sounds good Moulsey. I'll have to have a look.....

David - if you haven't already been, keep a look out for Beyerskloof Pinotage. Very similar to a merlot but a bit fruitier. We discovered it when we were in South Africa last year. It's normally £8 a bottle, currently reduced to £6 so if you buy it as part of your 6 that works out at £4.50, almost half price!
