I can't remember exactly why I wanted to try this. I do like a good Chenin Blanc, and I may have seen this in some newspaper columns or something. Tesco Finest, like Sainsbury's Taste the Difference, is pretty good value and a step above their entr (read full article)
I first tried this at a café in Battersea park. I think it was last summer, but it may have been the one before that. It stuck in my mind, I remembered it. I thought it was strange that I liked a Chilean rosé so much. Usually I drink French ros (read full article)
I confess I don't even know what vintage this was - we drank the bottle then immediately disposed of it, and now that I've finally got around to posting about it I don't know all the details (is it a 'Reserva'?). It's the one that was just half pric (read full article)
Because we drink a lot of Italian reds as 'everyday wine', I'm always trying new ones. I saw this award-winning wine on the Tesco website as I was ordering something else so I decided to give it a try.This is a 'riserva' which means it has to be age (read full article)
I haven't bought one of these half price Tesco clarets in a while, and after the first sip I remembered why.This was an impulse buy from my local Tesco 'Metro' while I was on a milk run. I was having steak for dinner and saw this for £6 (from £12. (read full article)

Ah yes, the magic of Hunter Valley Semillion. I've heard it so many times - this special terrior, you can put this wine away for ages and it develops into a complex, nutty, magical brew that is utterly unique to this part of Australia.I suppose to t (read full article)
This was on offer at my local Tesco for £4.49 (half price), which is a silly bargain for a German dessert wine of Prädikatswein quality.This is from the Rheinhessen region of Germany, which is more famous for Liebfraumilch than for quality late-har (read full article)
