Loads more at under £2.60

Before all the wine buffs start slating the wine, no it's not the best, but some of us can't afford the top tasting stuff.

erm, yes they do! I've had loads of the ones you mention from the Tesco wine site before, and to be honest, they're all pretty ropey :rotfl:

you get what you pay for, I guess

If you were to read my post I state that there are loads of other wines, ok, you want a sale wine:-
Turner Road Chardonnay 2003 was £79.69 now £39.85 that's £3.32 a bottle and it is a good wine, Happy?

Buying very cheap wine is a false economy. If you spend just a little more on a bottle of wine (see table) then the increase in the actual amount spent on wine content can be dramatic. This is not about being unable 'to afford the top tasting stuff' - there is a huge difference between a £2 bottle and a £5 bottle. You may as well enjoy one good £5 bottle than tolerate two poor quality £2 ones.

Most of the costs on a bottle of wine are fixed, including packaging (corks, labels, capsule, carton, bottle - 32p), bottling (8p) and distribution (26p). The government takes 44% of the cost of the wine in tax and duty. The rest goes on the retailer's margin (approximately 30%). So the more you pay for a bottle of wine, the more is going on actual wine.

____________________Actual wine content_________Duty and VAT
£3.99 bottle of wine__________£0.63________________£1.85
£5.99 bottle of wine__________£1.84________________£2.14
£7.99 bottle of wine__________£3.05________________£2.45

Just for information but I think it's worth seeing the above examples.
