to want to know who the fu*ck said sainsburys basic wine was nice?

[awomenscorned]

Because I have just opened a plastic bottle of it and its vile.

Go om own up you wanker

what did you get?, rose and white are better than red, - shove a bit of lemonade in it and it'll taste OK.

Not guilty ...., there nappies are FAB though!

Someone advised trying alcohol free kopparberg on another thread as it tastes the same.

I advised them they needed new tastbuds

Erm I said sainsburys house wine was nice, 3 50 for a drinkable bottle of soave, any wine tht comes in plastic is a step too far sorry...

Alcohol free Kopparberg does taste the same!!!!!

How much does basics wine cost?

white kurri. No, I'll solider on , and finish the bottle

£3.50. It wasn't you Rhonda because the moron mentioned the plastic bottle.

Hold your nose when you drink it and it's fine..

honest...

Not the basics - sorry BLURGH! But the offers are worthy... I never buy a wine that's not on offer and I'm a fencesitting spender. Not always the cheapest, but never full price.

Milford point Sauv Blan is GAWJUS and usually on offer reduced from £10 to £5. Actually a general rule of thumb for a sauv blanc lover is anything from Marlborough Bay NZ.

As for red, I'm a bit more of a lush and will drink anything... the plastic merlot is 'alright', but they also have an offer on RIGHT NOW for Riocca and Chianti which is very pleasant.

The white and orange 'basics' are okay for either cooking with or stealth drinking whilst you're cooking.

I know Aldi thats what I normally do.

What's the alcohol percentage content? I make it a rule never to drink red under 11% and as for white or rose, under 10% and it may as well go on me cornflakes!

I deeply sympathise with you then. BUT if you hadn't taken the advice your pocket would be poorer so it was a worthy lesson.

Smug grin... DH has just started brewing his own beer. 32p a pint? Thanks! Tastes good too, and I HATE beer. But thinking on, in September when the fruit is falling, it'll be cheap cider, cheap WINE! Yayay!

Until then, I'll spend a fiver and not a penny more (or less).

You live and learn awomanscorned take heart, your experiences have saved others

Thanks aldi. Its bareable now I'm on the second glass.

I'm [green] at the cheap home brew.

Yes it's great how wine improves the more you try it!!

Glad it wasn't me...

Here rhonda have a try

we got the aldi £2.50 one for the risotto. Would be absolutely fine with tonic.

The sainsbury's own range is good. Not basics though.

They do a good own range chianti for about 3.99 that is as good as you are going to get for 3.99. Co-op's own range is better value for money.

The Basics white & rose wine is ok-ish as long as you have it really really cold, drink it quickly and think of it as second bottle wine . I definitely don't have several bottles of it arriving tomorrow

mo Its 11%. It says drink with 3 months of buying.

Thing is I love lots of the basics range. not the wine

Its fine for a heavy session. Once you get over the vinegar first glass.

Can't live without the basics range in this house! Their toffee cereal bars are gawjus, and I sodding love the snack crackers. Their Sainsburys idea of 'basics' is spookily close to that of DP & the DCs. Slice of Basics Brie? Basics olives - black or green? Salmon pie ready meal for 74p?

I'm with you ice, can't think what now as intoxicated with basics wine. But your all gawjus.

I would hate to know what kind of headache you will get the day after a session of basics wine, though! OUCH

The Aldi 3.19 chardonnay is nice, I actually prefer it to my previous favourite which was Hardys Crest reserve!

Used to be £2.99 though, robdogging bastards :o
