    Sainsburys Hock used to be a good one, it was about £8.50 then (say 5 years-ish ago), not sure what it would be now but it's certainly reasonable compared with most of the others.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    to be honest, you;d be better going for the offers of 3 for a tenner, they are usually pretty reasonable wine.

    Any box of wine under a tenner is usually cheap crap.

    If you insist on boxes the Namaqua red or white at about £14.50 is decent wine.

    Depends what your taste in whin is really.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Lol I assumed it was for a "bop 'til you drop" type party with plastic glasses and nibbles. If it is a dinner party, or entertaining the boss, maybe something a bit more upmarket would be in order.

    As the OP specifically said "boxes", I'd imagine it might be a matter of quantity over quality! :D

    I've been buying Baron St Jean red wine from Aldi, it'd £2.99 a bottle. It's really nice they do a white one as well at the same price
