UK-based wine blog that focuses mainly on wines available in supermarkets and other popular merchants.
Is it just me, or has the rosé wine bubble burst? Every year we hear that consumption increases by X%, and that it is more popular than ever. If that is the case, then why does my local Sainsbury's currently have the worst selection of rosé ever? (read full article)
The Wine Society's own-label Corbieres is apparently a favourite with both Wine Society customers and buyers alike. In two separate advertising supplements (member's favourites and buyer's favourites), this wine featured prominently. It's main attr (read full article)
I mentioned the other day that I bought a bunch of stuff from The Wine Society. Because it's been a rather hectic past few days (not too hectic for wine though), I have managed to try a few more of these wines, but haven't managed a neat and tidy po (read full article)
Over the next few weeks I'll be blogging about a bunch of Wine Society wines I just purchased. Most of them are the low end of the price scale, as always I'm bargain hunting. This one at £6.50 falls into my usual price range, and it delivers. Actu (read full article)
It's been awhile since I made my risotto, which requires a cheap white in the recipe. One for the risotto, one for me, etc....This time I dropped into my local Oddbins for a bottle of their own-label white wine. In truth, I wanted to look for some (read full article)
I first tasted this wine at a Wine Society tasting and it was one of those wines you just don't forget about. I included some in my next order, and I think it will probably be a regular for me.This is an off-dry sparkling wine made from the Mauzac g (read full article)
I frequently find that I need a Chardonnay, and I don't have any. It's not something I usually stock up on, and I really have no excuse not to do so. Some food just requires it - anything with a cream sauce, risotto, chicken, pasta carbonara, etc. (read full article)
Background context info here.After trying Viognier only a handful of times of the last couple of years, I've decided that it's a "take it or leave it" type of wine for me. I can appreciate it, but it probably won't be my first choice on the wine lis (read full article)
Oz Clarke has been tweeting about Alain Grignon recently. He likes him. I like Oz Clarke, so I usually try the wines he recommends.Alain Grignon does a Viognier and a Cabernet Franc that are both available at Majestic. I bought both to try this we (read full article)
This was purchased at the same time and for the same reason as this was, the only difference being this wine had a Decanter World Wine Awards sliver medal sticker on it instead of a gold.Hints of dried chilli pepper on the nose and palate, along with (read full article)
We're down in Devon at the moment visiting my brother-in-law's family. We are all wine lovers, and it's turning into a ritual to visit the local Majestic whenever we get together. I had a few ideas in mind as to what to buy this time, but some othe (read full article)
I don't get Paul Mas. His wines have been the subject of praise from wine writers over the last couple of years. In fact, my very first blog post was a Paul Mas wine. I didn't like it, and I don't really like this one either.My brother in law desc (read full article)
I don't drink a lot of red wine these days, it being summer and all. But I made an exception tonight because we were having steak (and not just any steak, but Marks and Spencer's 21 day aged peppered rump steak). My views on steak are similar to my (read full article)
