    Hi All, I am declaring early for today please so 14/17 please Shaggy.

    I also bought some of Tesco's Finest AF Chenin Blanc wine at the weekend. I was apparently the first to buy it so the staff couldn't tell me what it tastes like as its so new out. I hope its ok. I've never had a chenin blanc, I'm more a Pinot lady myself! Thought i'd open it when my mother comes round for a meal one day.

    Am also tempted to buy the Sainsbury one, is there a choice or is it the only one? I don't live near a Sainsbury so when I pass I don't want to buy the wrong one.

    Good morning everyone,

    13 AFD please Shaggy.

    I'm a SW follower as is the guru Maman for me cutting down on the booze was a major factor in getting to target. Once you've got this sorted the weight loss becomes easier. Good luck

    The Sainsbury's own brand AF sparkling is the only one they sell like it, but I'm not sure about their AF range generally. Except beers - watch what you buy because they muddle up low alcohol and AF so you need to read the labels. You usually have to hunt the AF sparkling down, too, on the bottom shelf sometimes, amongst ordinary wine, sparkling or still, but generally amongst the whites. I don't think they know where to put it.

    20/30 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.

    Thanks Honey Bear. I am going to a small store today so will see if they have any. I expect its the sort of thing you'd find in a larger store though.
