    Tescos have a wine sale on at the moment with up to 50% off. And it gets delivered right to your door.

    Yes TRYPTICH I was at a big TESCO store yesterday (I quoted it on the meat thread) and they were putting the show/offer up then it was mainly Aussie wines I think ........

    There is a real problem with TEsco wine site . They often don't quote vintages and sometimes if you order one vintage you get another - say 2002 ( balanced and excellent ) and you get 2003 ( so hot a vintage it tastes like burned tyres ) I might be a little annoyed.

    Last week I bought 1998 Gran Reserva Tarragona DOC from Lidl - £2.99.

    Dark bottle, plasticky-wire cage, white & maroon label... <_<








    I&#39;m no connoisseur, so my opinion would probably be irrelevant, but I am enjoying it (I bought six bottles).

    It isn&#39;t as powerful or oaky as Rioja and is definitely better at room temp than cool (from the garage).

    The guy behind me in the queue asked me if I&#39;d tried it (he had a box of six as well) and I said yes. I&#39;d bought it at Christmas (went down well on the day but invitees aren&#39;t connoisseurs either) and had only seen it once since. He said he&#39;d seen it at £8.99 somewhere and had tried it the previous week just to see if it was OK. He said he was delighted with it, hence his return visit.

    I can just imagine Jilly Goolden: "Hmm, I&#39;m getting....burned tyres..."

    Lord H - in your world of first growth claret only I doubt you ever come across such wines . :P

    Badly made Australian wines from very hot areas often taste and smell burnt .
