Usually buy in the £10 - £16 range but need to cut back financially. Any suggestions? I like a good Malbec and don't have an Aldi or Lidl anywhere near me 😢

Sainsbury own label are usually reliable

Aldi toro loco I think it's 3.99 a bottle and had won awards. They deliver to your door so it doesn't matter that it's a long way to your nearest Aldi

Sainsbury Penguin Sands. Asda Cowboy Malbec.

@Starisnotanumber, I just cam on to say the Toro Loco from Aldi.
£4 though! It's close to €10 here. Bloody government tax Hmm

We like any of the Yellowtail wines, particularly the Jammy Red Roo. They also do a Malbec, Merlot and Shiraz. Normally around £7 but can generally get an offer at £6

ChrisPriss · 14/06/2019 00:17

Another vote for Jammy Red Roo!

weddingplannc · 14/06/2019 00:23

Tesco finest Malbec is £6 and is surprisingly nice. I'm from a family of wine snobs and even they will drink it

cheeseislife8 · 14/06/2019 00:25

Another vote for Yellow Tail! The Shiraz and Jammy Red Roo are gorgeous

EllenRachel · 14/06/2019 00:26

I like the aldi rioja, their Malbec has won awards too but I prefer the rioja (and I'm a massive Malbec fan). Like a pp said, just get a case delivered so it doesn't matter where you live.

my favourite is campo viejo rioja tempranillo (bright yellow label)
Ranges in price from £6.50-8 depending on whether its on offer (it usually is)

Shockers · 14/06/2019 15:42

The Aldi Toro Loco comes in organic too. It’s £4.99.

Crunchymum · 14/06/2019 16:01

Another vote for Campo Viejo Rioja Tempranillo and its usually on special somewhere? Currently £6.99 in Waitrose / £6.50 in Tesco

(I'm off out to buy a few bottles tomorrow!)

RollOnSaturday · 14/06/2019 16:12

Another vote for Campo Viejo (esp if you can get it on offer).

Came on to say that Lidl’s Baturrica (4.99) is my favourite, still worth a mention for others even though OP has no Lidl nearby.

Jinglejanglefish · 14/06/2019 17:06

Waitrose do a number of own brand wines that are 4.99, we always get them

IShitGlitter · 14/06/2019 17:06

Another vote here for Campo Viejo Rioja Tempranillo

twinklylights · 14/06/2019 17:07

Jammy red roo is lush!

StealthPolarBear · 14/06/2019 17:08

Yes to sains own brand. £4-£5 and all very nice, well the ones I've tried

FrankT · 14/06/2019 17:11

Carta roja from sainsburys is delicious and waitrose do a lovely chianti for £6-7

IGottaSeeJane · 14/06/2019 17:18

Waitrose Italian red.

NC4Now · 14/06/2019 17:24

19 Crimes is often on offer for around £7 and it’s lovely

yellowsun · 14/06/2019 18:45

Aldi Toro Loco is our favourite bargain. The Malbec is good also. Get an order in!

There a few malbecs in Tesco that are good. I have an app that I use where you photograph the label and it tells you ratings. Useful when you haven’t tried something before.

JeremyIronsBenFolds · 14/06/2019 18:46

Barefoot Merlot is good for a cheapish red.

jellybeanteaparty · 14/06/2019 18:57

19 crimes banished has become our go to when on offer
