Found this site, looks like up to 50 Tesco wines are half price & not just the usual Hardy's Crest, Galloway Crossing et al - proper reductions -

Also M&S have 25% off all wines, plus I love NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and it's £5.69 for a bottle of Wither Hills at Waitrose. www.supermarketwinereviews.com :T

Has anyone tried those "make your own wine" kits from tesco (i've also seen them in wilkinsons)? I know that at £9.99 a pack they're not technically sub-£5 but it claims to make 6 bottles, so it would be a little over £1.60 each. There are a few different varieties to choose from (merlot, chardonnay etc).

Seems tempting but I don't want to waste the money if it's gonna taste like a sewer!

To reply to my own post, I just found this review online. Very interesting!

You can buy an all in one pack for £19.99 I believe (making 6 bottles), then just buy the refill packs at £9.99 each. So effectively you pay £10 for 6 bottles and £10 set up cost.

Edit: I was not allowed to post a link but if you go on ciao.co.uk and add "/Young_s_Wine_Buddy_5_gallon_7_day_Wine_Kits__Review_5747717" without the quotation marks you should be fine.

Surprised the Aldi sub-£3 wines don't feature here.

I've worked my way through them and been very impressed by the Budavar (Hungarian) wines.

Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon

Chardonay and Sauvignon Blanc

All £2.99

I haven't read the whole thread (sorry!) but just wanted to post that both Netto and Home & Bargain do some FAB wines for £3.99 or less. In fact Netto ones are often only £2.99, and they will quite often be ones that are around £7 in Tesco's!! I rarely go anywhere else for wine - except occasionally Asda or Tesco for a good 3 for £10 offer.

Just checked out the supermarketwinereviews website to source a dry white, really easy to use. Also some good recipes and food wine pairings on there.
