Really good cheap red wine?
12 Answers
I love a glass of red wine (or twelve) of an evening, to go with my dinner - or forget the dinner! I just wondered if anyone could recommend any really tasty bottles that are quite cheap? I normally go to the supermarket, and have found the following to be great: Rawson's Retreat, most Hardy's ones, the Gallo Turning Leaf, Fetzer blah blah blah... I am hoping not to spend more than �7 and generally like them pretty full-bodied. Thanks for any help you may have.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Sainsbury currently has a half-price offer bringing the Spanish Garnacha down to �2.99.
But if your budget is �7, thats not cheap in UK terms where the average price paid for a bottle of wine is �3.98 and the usual cut off point is �5, and you should be able to find some interesting and individualistic wines a lot better than the industry bulk wines like Gallo Blossom Hill etc.
Try popping in Oddbins and look for France, South Africa and Chile for good value. In particular, Flagstone Longitude at �5.99 (blend of several varieties giving a tremendous berry fruitiness - made by Bruce Jack), and Porcupine Ridge Merlot at �6.99.
You can try Cote A Cote Rouge, its French and fun - http://www.capitaldri...20056-750ml-p-59.html
