Good cheap wine

[onlyslightlyinterested]

We have visitors at the weekend, and will need a shed full of wine. Can anyone recommend where I can buy good wine, that won't cost a fortune? Red or white.

Arse! Meant to put this in chat!

Aldi

How much do you want to spend and what is the purpose?
To go with food or to have as a drink?

Actually, Co Op Fairlead wines are good and come in at around £4.99/£5.99.

FAIRTRADE

Aldi do some great wines.

Just to drink. I shop at Aldi, but haven't found a really good wine. I've heard Lidl is good, but don't know any names.

Barefoot is usually on offer for a fiver and is lovely. Aldi have a nice prosecco for under £6. Not sure what other wine is good from aldi but I've never been disappointed with their alcohol.

You can get a nice Italian (white) Soave from Aldi for £3.99. I think similar price in Lidl too.

For a red try a Merlot or Cabinet from Aldi/Lidl.

Barefoot gives me a headache while drinking it . I like Hardys if you shop about you can get it for £6.99 I also like Gallio

£5.99 sorry

Tesco finest Argentinian Malbec £7 a bottle.

Lidl Gavi is lovely. And for red, Lidl Cepa Lebrel Rioja went down extremely well the last time I had a party. Not sure of the UK£ prices, but in Ireland the Gavi is €7.50 and the Rioja is €6.50. They do a very decent Prosecco, too.

Barefoot is revolting. It's the only wine I've ever thrown away.

You can't go wrong with most prosecco and its usually around £6. I'd really avoid anything that's three for a tenner or similar because, yuck.

Co op wines are generally good.

South African wine - very good value for money, stuff like Tesco & Sainsbury's own label South African wine.

(We own a wine merchant and DH is like an encyclopaedia when it comes to wine)

Another vote for Hardy's

Majestic is also very good value if you buy more than 6 bottles - they've got loads of NZ Sauvignon's in at the moment for about 6.99 (you can mix the 6 bottles), they often let you taste too - Majestic are great.

Gallo Summer Red isn't even wine - it's a wine based drink!

Waitrose do 'A good Spanish/Italian/French' red or white - think it's 5.99. I drink it all the time. Actually drinking it now.

Aldi Toro Loco red is lovely

Gallo / Hardys / Barefoot are horrible and will give you a hangover

I'd go for the boxed Pinot Grigio blush or New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from sainsbos - much easier to drink!

Their prosecco is lovely too

Aldi Argentinian Malbec £5.99 ...divine

azda do some good wine too,woolfe Blas's is often on offer , plenty of choices in the £5-6 bracket and the 3 for £10 are all drinkable and good at the end of an evening when people are less discerning(if you decant into a better empty bottle you'd be surprised how many people believe it's better than it is).
