Great 'Your fave sub-£5 wines' Hunt

Wine: Trezanti Salento
Year: 2006
Price: £4.18 (When on offer, which is now and again but also currently).
Where: Morrisons

Why I like it: One of the best full-bodied, fruity, Italian reds I've tasted. Normally priced at over £8. Morrisons have it on offer at the cheaper price at the moment and every few weeks.

For a pretty nice easy drinking wine (it's useful for cooking too) I like this one:

wine: Chilean Sauvignon Blaunc
Year: -
Price: £3.32
Where: Tesco

It's light and citrusy and goes well with fish, seafood or light chicken dishes (and it's fine on it's own too).

They have a Chilean Chardonnay in the same style of packaging too for a few pence more but I've never tried that one.

wine: Isla Negra Red and Rose
Year: -
Price: 3 for £10
Where: Iceland

We have drunk this for several years now, nearly always available from Iceland, but occasionally from Tesco or Morrisons. £6+ from Waitrose next door

We are quite tight (read: moneysaving ) and try to buy wine at £4 mark, but of course thats not easy. We have tried some of the supermarket brands as well as others:

Wine: Sainsburys Californian Red (Orange label)
Year: not sure, 2005/6/7 perhaps
Price: £3.73 as of now on their site
Where: Sainsburys

Fruity flavour, light enough to have 1 bottle between 2 in the week without giving you a thick/fuzzy head the next day, doesnt show you had it the morning after the night before lol

Wine: Fisheye Californian Red (Orange label similar to above)
Year: 2005
Price: £4.69 as of now on their site
Where: Sainsburys

Same as above really, but a little heavier, like a red wine should be, this isn't a negative (in our eyes)

Wine: Tescos Californian Red (White label)
Year: not sure, 2005/6/7 perhaps
Price: £3.49 from memory
Where: Tescos

Like the Sainsburys one but it does stain a bit, I know all reds have this tendancy, but a quick brush before bed sorts most, apart from this one It is a nice wine to drink so dont hang on that if its not important to you.

We also like Australian reds, but I have run out of lunchbreak to continue, briefly Mcguigan Estates have 1 or 2 at £4.99 in Sainsburys, also Little Penguin is £4.69 at present, and Wollemei is also under £4.99. All very highly recommended, look them up at Sainsburys website, its very easy to get the info without signing up to them.

ish quite shimple.... bottom shelf in Tescos wine section. You can get a good choice of red or white between £3 and £4. My favourite is Californian white, but also try a South African or Australian white. All of them are bottled for the Tesco brand. Look out for the regular 3 for £10 offers on the more pricey wines and don`t forget they give you 5% off 6 or more bottles. And, occasionally, there are the `Wine Festival` 25% off offers (+ 5% for 6 bottles). cheers me dears.
