    try going to Oddbins and asking them for a recommendation in your price range.

    if they are into wine, m&s own brand or tesco special offer unlikely to impress!

    but if they are good friends, they wont mind what you bring anyway. if you are really worried, why not take them a box of chocs or flowers/similar instead?

    I got to know the bloke who stocked up the shelves in Tesco, and he was great. Always kept an eye on a nice little deal ,and stashed the odd bottle for when I came in. One he recommended, and we were impressed with was the Brown Brothers Tarrango. Its about six quid, but goes on special occasionally. Gotta grab it fast though, apparently the manager of the store is a fan.

    I second that Wolf Blass red or yellow label are my favourites. tesco has the red label down to £4.99 just now and it tastes really expensive!

    Agreed...lovely stuff. Very nice for a lower-priced wine.
    The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics(sic) or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.

    Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions, I went for the Wolf Blass in the end as it was reduced in Asda.

    As I have a 2 hour journey in predicted temperatures of 33 degrees I decided against chocolates which might melt or flowers which would wilt
