westholtschic Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 100 crimes is good. https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/19-crimes-red-wine-15l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westholtschic Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I like talking about wine at 0745 in the morning 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubenz Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Will keep an eye on this thread. Usually go for Sainsburys House which is 13 quid for three bottles worth and not too bad but maybe time for an upgrade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coma girl Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/311677938 I took some of this last year, tasted ok and the bottles are plastic so no decanting needed and they are also an easy shape for packing. Once it was finished I then refilled from a box of wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I wouldn't recommend drinking two boxes of it between the end of Avalanches and the start of Roisin. As although your wife will tell you you knew all the words and danced along to Roisin, you won't actually remember any of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 If anyone is splashing the cash on their bagged wine this year, the Bagnums from Le Grappin are all really good. Alternatively St. John do wine a box up to 10l of their very tasty house red or white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernova. Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I just bought these wines in a can the other day - not going to lie I haven’t tried them but was taken in by the fact they’re made using the spring water under Glastonbury: https://naniasvineyard.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
