Waitrose Red Wines April/May 2024

Terre di Faiano Organic Primitivo

Terre di Faiano are usually a great source of value on the shelves and this Southern Italian Primitivo is no different. The palate is soft with a crisp bite to the finish, taking you on an easy-drinking journey of dark berries, oaky vanilla, and chocolate. Pizza and this sounds like perfection.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £10.99)

Grant Burge Barossa Ink Shiraz

We love seeing this wine on offer. A wide net of Barossa grapes, once decanted for an hour, deliver so much intense depth of flavour. Brooding blackberry, ripe plums and indulgent mocha notes dominate. Serve with hearty meats and it sings.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.89 (usually £10.99)

Fairview Barrel-Aged Pinotage

From the Western Cape comes this full-bodied, plummy Pinotage. This grape has come into a life of its own over the past couple of decades, and what a fine example of that this is. The oak ageing imparts the perfect touch of spice, and it retains a light smoothness that is moreish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.79 (usually £10.99)

Marques de Calatrava Reserva

Spanish Tempranillo here carrying heavy oak influence, but it works a treat. Cherry and plum rise and fall together amongst a silky-smooth backdrop and earthier, leathery notes. Simple but excellent.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £6.99 (usually £8.99)

Waitrose Rosé Wines April/May 2024

Eminence de Bijou

The aromas jump up from the blush pink and fill the nose with delicate summer fruits. The first reveals the weight and intense hit of strawberry alongside subtle herbal hints. Vanilla rounds things off as well as a surprising touch of spice. Really satisfying and a bargain at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £10.99 (usually £14.99)

Cellier de Rouffignac Coteaux d'Aix En Provence

This is a deliciously elegant Provence Rosé. The ripe strawberries are the star of the show, flanked by the aromatics of lychee and elderflower. It’s on the dry and crisp side as Rosés go and brings super impressive complexity. Oh, and it’s organic!

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £13.99)

Waitrose White Wines April/May 2024

The Ned Pinnacle Sauvignon Blanc

This signature Waihopai Valley Sauvignon brings tonnes of citric aromatics and ripe white peach notes. It’s juicy, bright and pungent with New Zealand character. Just great for a tenna.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £12.99)

The Ned Pinot Grigio

Sticking with The Ned – what a deal this is below £9. It stands out a little from the usual Waihopai style, bringing salmon blush and rich, full-bodied stone fruits. But there’s also mineral depth lingering too. Interesting and well worth picking up.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.49 (usually £10.99)

Amandla Sauvignon Blanc

This is a great South African brand headed up by Pray Dlamini, a new superstar of wine. It’s bursting with lemon zest, tropical fruits of pineapple and passion fruit and incredible freshness. It’s much less green tasting than most Sauvignon but that makes a nice change.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.99 (usually £9.99)

Paul Mas Réserve Languedoc Blanc

From the renowned Jean-Claude Mas vineyards in Languedoc comes this floral gem. Juicy peach offsets vivid lemon, and there’s a slight oily texture that’s really nice. At the end, minerality creeps in too so it’s then total package.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £7.49 (usually £9.99)

Diablo Dark Red

We’re delighted to see this Chilean gem back on offer, although we have to say it more than justifies its full price too. The design may be devilish but make no mistake, this is heaven in a bottle.

Carnivor Zinfandel Red Wine

You can guess from the name where this one takes you. It’s perfect alongside meats and everything you want from Cali Zinfandel – it hits hard and has great structure. The jammy blackberry is lovely and rich. It’s indulgent and well worth picking up below £10.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Journey's End Spekboom Syrah

Not only is this South African red delicious, it’s also got a really interesting background. Spekboom is also known as Elephant Bush, and it absorbs an incredible amount of CO2. Journey’s End plant loads of it, and still find time to make velvety, spicy reds like this. The savoury notes of smoky olives really bring everything together.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Altano Rewilding Edition Douro Red

This is another conservation-minded wine supporting Rewilding Portugal. On top of that, bucket loads of attitude and altitude make for a fresh and soft red driven by plum and damson. We’d serve this alongside midweek pasta dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

McGuigan Reserve Merlot

Ever reliable, McGuigan’s Reserve Merlot is a real crowd pleaser for £7. It’s pretty much the definition of easy drinking, with accessible notes of luscious plum, cherry and blackberry. It’s on the light side as Merlots go, but still full of deep fruits.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £7 (usually £7.75)

Sainsbury’s White Wines April 2024

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Diablo Golden Chardonnay

Bargain Chilean Chard. There is all sorts going on inside this bottle. The buttery feel is instant, but then comes the tropical kick of pineapple, wet stone, and the gentlest waft of smoke. It goes on some surprising twists and turns, but it’s a delicious journey.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Rocca Murer Pinot Grigio Trentino

This is a crisp Trentino full of light citrus and peach, grassy notes and characterful minerality. Everything about it feels light and it strikes us as extremely food-friendly – think shellfish and vegetarian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Plaimont Côtes De Gascogne Colombard Sauvignon Blanc

What a punch for the money. Hailing from sunny Côtes De Gascogne, the razor acidity really slices through with this wine. Colombard is introduced bringing a softening effect but it’s the bundles of bright citrus that steals the show – perfect for tonnes of meals.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £7.25 (usually £9)

Amandla Our Future Sauvignon Blanc

We’re always happy to shout out this wine. The distillery it comes from is a great South African female-led all black enterprise, and their wines totally brighten up the shelves. Their vivid Sauvignon is brimming with zesty citrus and tropical passion fruit. Sharp as a knife and utterly delicious. £8 is a steal.

Tesco Red Wines April 2024

Mucho Mas Vino Tinto Wine

Despite being such a large operation, Mucho Mas remain a family-owned winery located near the Spanish capital. This is their easy-drinking red blend, and as stupid as it might sound, it really is red. Very red. The fruits stray from very ripe to jammy, with bright juices from plums, figs, and berries. Vanilla and a crack of warm pepper fill things out in this loveable glugger.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7 (Clubcard Price) (usually £8.50)

Barossa Ink Shiraz

This fresh and fruit forward Shiraz pulls grapes from all over the Barossa region to punch with maximum intensity. Think tonnes of ripe, dark berries, mocha hints from plenty of oak maturation, and a dose of complexity with a smoky, leathery layer that’s very impressive. It’s crying out for a steak pairing, but this is one that needs to breathe for a couple of hours before enjoying.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £11)

Millefiori Appasimento Veneto

A yummy blend of Corvina and Merlot, this Veneto red can’t be argued with at £8.50. Cherries and plums dominate, and there’s a tingle of spice to play with too. They’re ripe, but good acidity comes through too. Full, velvety and well-rounded.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9.50)

Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

Great value Stellenbosch red now, with this ethically minded wine. Its maturity is noticeable, displaying great poise for under £10. It’s anchored with earthy, oaky notes that are almost meaty, and plush with dark fruits. There’s even a touch of liquorice on the finish. Really interesting and worth picking up.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (Clubcard Price) (usually £11)

Tesco Finest Primitivo Terre Di Chieti (Deal Ends – 10th April)

This lovely wine falls firmly under the Italian easy-drinking section. Grown up in the Abruzzo hills, the Primitivo grapes overlook the Adriatic, cooling them and retaining admirable freshness. It’s an inky pour, and straight away the punch of plum and tickle of spice come through, the latter of which lingers for an age given the money paid for it. Delicious and top-notch value.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £6.75 (Clubcard Price) (usually £7.75)

Tesco Rosé Wines April 2024

Cupiolo Pinot Grigio Blush

The confectionary hint on the nose hints that this isn’t in the same style as Provence Rose, and it isn’t. Using Pinot Grigio grapes from Trentino’s high-altitude Alto Adige, it’s full of fruit. Think soft peach, zippy lime, and bitter orange. There’s plenty of crisp acidity too. Stunning with seafood.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10.75)

Tesco White Wines April 2024

Te Pa Signature Series Sauvignon Blanc

This is everything you want from Marlborough Sauvignon. Vegetal green notes play off against chalky minerality for a super clean feel, but there’s signature gooseberry too, as well as a generous tropical helping – passion fruit and guava mainly. Perfect for vegetarian dinners.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10.50)

Mucho Mas Vino Blanco

It’s a Mucho Mas Fiesta this month at Tesco. This is one of the absolute best white wines of any style under £10. Orchard fruits dominate with the Chardonnay, but Sauvignon and Verdejo bring so much more – floral and fruity. And then the finish – buttery and almost nutty too. Really full and exciting wine.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (Clubcard Price) (usually £8.50)

Bellingham The Bernard Series Chenin Blanc

This Cape Chenin Blanc beats more expensive rivals hands down. It manages to be rich and refreshing, brimming with peach, bright citrus, and aromatic honey. All of this is supported by the acidic crunch of green apples and pleasant oak. Balanced to perfection.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £10 (Clubcard Price) (usually £12)

Deinhard Green Label Riesling

Electric acidity steals the show from the sweetness with this Mosel Riesling, with zippy green apple, lemon and lime, and honey. It’s more off dry than the medium stated and would be fantastic washing down a wide array of dishes. At this price, it hits the spot.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 10%
Find here: £6.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £7.50)

ABV: 14%
Find here: £6.25 (usually £9.25)

Masso Antico Primitivo

This is Masso Antico’s most loved wine, made from Apulian Primitivo, or Zinfandel to you and us.

Cool sea air and Mediterranean heat combine with oak ageing for fresh berries, soft tannins, and lingering spice.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Jacob's Creek Double Barrel Matured Shiraz Red Wine

This is a really interesting Shiraz aged in Scotch whisky barrels. You’ll find it across the supermarkets, but with ASDA offering it for £10 it’s a no brainer. It’s aged in traditional oak first, before the Scotch finish creating a combination of richness, elegance, and easy-drinking smoothness. Expect plenty of vanilla oak, blackberry, plum and earthy tobacco.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £10 (usually £12.50)

ASDA Extra Special Carménère

This Chilean Carménère pours a seductive dark purple and reveals instant and intense black fruits and pepper on the nose. The palate fills out with heaps of plum and rich chocolate that begins sweet before turning tart. The oaky spice returns to finish off – delicious.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £7.50 (usually £8)

Faustino Rioja

What great value this Tempranillo from Bodegas Faustino is. It brings the classic profile of Spanish Rioja, with great structure and bright, concentrated fruits. The first sip reveals how silky and balanced it is, and the touch of earthy complexity is a welcome addition.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9.75 (usually £12.50)

ASDA White Wines March 2024

Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

This is a vino that goes on quite the adventure before settling into your glass. The Sauvignon Blanc vines are grown in between fierce oceans, historic valleys and majestic mountains, before reaching Villa Maria itself, situated in the crater of a volcano! It’s a classic Marlborough profile so plenty of crisp refreshment, exotic flavours, light gooseberry and no bitterness whatsoever.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10.50)

Freixenet Pinot Grigio

From glorious Garda comes this crystal sip of pure Italian sun. At just 11%, it’s crisp and dry with a soothing quality from the delicate orchard fruits and bright citrus. The floral aroma of honey adds a loveable touch too. How could this not be crowd pleaser?

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

Diablo Golden Chardonnay

This is a buttery Chard that really stands out from the crowd. From Chile’s Central Valley, it takes a few interesting turns with tropical pineapple and passion fruit, oaky, buttery vanilla and also just a subtle touch of stoney steel. Likeable.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

ASDA Extra Special Rueda

100% Verdejo grapes, this blend has picked up a number of big awards and deservedly so. The star of the show is the mineral salinity that comes through with great freshness, waxy tones, and wafts of smoke. All of that, before floral peachy notes and super crisp apples.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £6.25 (usually £6.75)

Tukituki Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

This would be easy to identify as a Marlborough Sauvignon in a blind taste test, with green pepper, asparagus, and vivid grass. These shades of green do mellow and quickly give way to tropical flavours of passion fruit, all the while keeping a clean zing.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £8 (usually £8.50)

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Sainsbury’s March 2024

Shoppers of Sainsbury’s listen up. We’ve been pawing through the offers for the best bottles this March, and the offers are superb this month. Check out these ten bottles, split down the middle between juicy reds and elegant whites… and all for £10 or less.

Sainsbury’s Red Wines March 2024

Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva Douro DOC

In the heart of the Douro region, this delicious Portuguese red is made that bit deeper with a Vintage Port finish for 12 months. There’s so much refined spice and delicately rich black fruits all before the silky finish that lasts for ages. You don’t find many reds that bring bold flavour but also nuanced restraint as well as this for a tenner.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £10 (usually £11.50)

Sainsbury's Valpolicella Ripasso, Taste the Difference

This is one of the best value bottles in any UK supermarket. Corvina makes up most of the four-grape blend where dried grape skins are macerated for extra depth and texture. Rich darker fruits come through alongside bright berries and lively spice but despite all that bold Italian flavour, it doesn’t feel heavy at all. Masterfully made.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £10 (usually £12)

Mucho Mas Vino Tinto

This is a juicy, easy-drinking red from one of the world’s largest family-owned wineries, situated not far from Madrid. Sweet dark fruits are brimming at the heart of it, supported by a crack of warm pepper and comforting vanilla. Top-notch midweek glugger at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.50)

Trivento Private Reserve Malbec

Chilean Mendoza Malbec from the Uco Valley at the foothills of the Andes now. Aged for 8 months in oak barrels, the wine darkens with chocolatey notes and spice, most notably black pepper, and nutmeg. Mulled wine comes to mind at times.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Porta 6 Vinho Regional Lisboa

The vineyards above Lisbon are cooled by the Atlantic ocean, so the grapes grown there maintain really fresh acid and aromatics. The blackcurrants and strawberries are light and softened by that acidity, leaving a rustic style wine that goes down a treat. Let it breathe for a while though.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Sainsbury’s White Wines March 2024

Greasy Fingers Big Buttery Chardonnay

We are more than to shout about this from the rooftops whenever it comes on sale because it is divine. There’s no getting away from the ‘big and buttery’ label here that has made a massive impression on us in its short life so far. The butter leaves just enough room for crunchy orchard fruits and a touch of oaky vanilla, so expect more of a Cali Chard profile than Aussie.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

Yealands Sauvignon Blanc

Yealands produce a few Sauvignon Blancs and this supermarket gem is fantastic. It’s a crisp classic delivering tonnes of naturally high acidity, offset harmoniously with tasty tropical fruits like guava and peach, and all underwritten by lovely herbaceous notes too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10.50)

Sainsbury's Coolwater Bay Marlborough Sauvignon, Taste the Difference

What a great price this is for quality Marlborough Sauvignon. It’s got that beautiful dryness and exotic mango, lime, and papaya that you want. The minerality definitely comes through, as do hints of fresh herbs. It’s crisp and delicate and simply delivers on exactly what you want.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £11.99)

Barone Montalto Grillo Sicilia DOC

100% Grillo grapes from Sicilain winery Barone Montalto have produced an absolute gem here. Citrus (most notably grapefruit) floods the nose and after the first sip, you’ll notice that this is a big, weighty white with tropical fruit sweetness and a flicker of green fruits. Very nice.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.25 (usually £8)

Elegant Frog Viognier

Say hello to the Elegant Frog, a Languedoc Viognier from Jean-Claude Mas. Part of the blend is aged in oak barrels to enhance the aromas of floral peach, as well as the richness of dried fruit on the palate. The aftertaste is particularly strong for a Viognier but we love it.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Tesco March 2024

Supermarket Wine Bargains again, and shoppers at Tesco will want to see these gems. They’ve got some cracking offers for March, and we’ve been through and highlighted four stunning reds and whites, and two delicious Rosé suggestions too. They’re all under £10 and better than many wines double the price. See which one (or three) takes your fancy.

Tesco Red Wines March 2024

Aprimondo Appassimento

This is one of the best Sangiovese reds under £10. It’s full of body and flavour, with a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel. You can expect a symphony of darker berries, with great sweetness from the dried grapes. Fig, date, prune and vanilla mellow things out for a fantastically well-rounded wine.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9.25)

19 Crimes Red Wine

19 Crimes are a reliable go-to at this pricepoint, with each bottle being a ode to those transported to Australia many years ago. This Shiraz-dominant blend is aged in American oak so vanilla and cedar spice support jammy blackcurrant and plum. It’s got an almost Christmassy feel to it we think, with a good whack of sweetness so if like that, you’ll love this.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9.50)

Apothic Merlot

Untamed blueberries and dark cherries absolutely soar in this silky smooth Cali Merlot. Buttery, oaky, vanilla fill out the palate indulgently making this the sweetest, jammiest of any Apothic wine. It won’t be for everyone, but for big rich sweetness, it’s delish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10)

Luis Felipe Edwards Malbec

Fans of Chilean Malbec, look no further. Grown from 70-year-old wines, the stand out characteristics here are the dryness and pleasing acidity joining the richness of blackberry, plum and chocolate coated cherries. There’s oak too, but it’s not as intrusive as Argentinian blends. It’s very nicely poised overall, with a more expensive feel than it actually is… which is always nice.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £8.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10.50)

Tesco Rosé Wines March 2024

Maison Castel Rose D'anjou

This inviting pale pink hue hides an explosion of citrus and red fruits on the nose, which unfold into a richly aromatic palate. A refreshing dryness persists, but strawberry sweetness and light melon come through fabulously and last an age. Top notch Loire Valley Rosé.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9)

Kylie Minogue Cote De Provence Rosé

Another hit for Kylie, this pitch-perfect Provence Rosé is stunning. Every sip feels delicately poised between minerality and fruit. Lofty watermelon, bitter lemon, soft white peaches and strawberries – it’s a proper glass of summer.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £10.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £12.50)

Tesco White Wines March 2024

Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc

This Marlborough Sauvignon is a favourite in a number of UK supermarkets, loved for its traditional expression of the style. Everything you want is there, from the gooseberry nose to the tropical fruits with soft pineapple and zippy grapefruit. The whole thing is razor sharp but elegant with it, and there’s even some herbaceous complexity to play with. So well-rounded.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10.50)

El Jardin De Ana Godello

What amazing value this is for £8. The work of renowned producer Martín Códax, it delivers maximum freshness with no oak. 100% Godello, it’s juicy, and lively, brimming with orchard fruits and a touch of creamy butter. Nothing too complicated, you know what you’re getting, and it’s delicious.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10.50)

Bouchard Grand Conseiller Chardonnay

This is an unoaked Bergundy Chardonnay that’s divine for the price. The light lemon coloured pour reveals a bright citrus nose, chiefly lemon and grapefruit, and these continue in the mouth. They’re flanked by spicy acidity and crunchy green fruits, before a return to citrus with lime zest lingering on the finish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £8.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9.50)

19 Crimes Australian Chardonnay

We always keep our eyes peeled for this wine to come on sale, though truth be told we’d buy it at full price too. Oak ageing gives a moreish richness to the melon and stone fruits that appear, but the buttery almost vanilla note is what steals the show bringing a tasty nudge of sweetness to proceedings.

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Waitrose March 2024

We’re back with some Supermarket Wine Bargains for March, and they are superb this month at Waitrose. We’ve got four luscious reds and crisp whites, as well as couple of yummy Rosé suggestions too. Every bottle we’ve highlighted comes in for under £10, which is an absolute bargain considering the quality. See which takes your fancy and get stuck in before the deals run out on the 19th March!

Waitrose Red Wines March 2024

Pazzia Primitivo di Manduria

If you like Waitrose’s Terre di Faiano Primitivo (and we do!) then there’s a good chance you’ll fall for this too. Also from Puglia, it’s a seductively inky pour revealing fleshy cherries, ripe plums, and a bed of oaky vanilla. They’re low yield grapes which put many producers off, but what is bottled is special and tastes a hell of a lot more expensive than it is – especially with the discount.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £12.99)

Chateau Tanunda Shiraz

Top notch value Barossa Valley Shiraz here. It’s super jammy and full-bodied with raspberry, blackberry, plum and cherry, but the sweetness is restrained nicely too. Mellow oak, peppery spice and vanilla round things off nicely.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £7.49 (usually £9.99)

Stemmari Passiata

An Italian blend of Syrah and Sicilian Nero d’Avola, lightly dried grapes bring a delicious rich sweetness to the plum, blackberry, and blueberry notes. Woody tobacco and vanilla take over to fill out the body, but somehow it retains a lightness that a wine like this normally wouldn’t.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £11.99)

Tilimuqui Fairtrade Organic Malbec

Tilimuqui’s organic Malbec is an absolute gem. Hailing from Argentina, it’s very much on the dry side, brimming with perfectly executed black fruits and chocolate. It’s silky and spicy too and probably on the lighter side of Argentinian Malbec which may go against it for some, but we enjoyed it.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £11.99)

Waitrose Rosé Wines March 2024

Alaina Rosé Laurent Miquel

Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault combine for this Languedoc Rosé, named after the winemaker’s daughter. It’s so summery, refreshing and elegant, and alive with crisp fruits and floral notes. The strawberry brings some richness but overall this is a light Rosé with good citric acidity and would be a dream pairing for many dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9.69 (usually £12.99)

Le Bijou Rosé de Sophie Valrose Coteaux de Béziers

This gem was on offer a few months ago so it’s great to see it back (even though it’s easily worth picking up at full price). Inspired by legendary Sophie Valrose who did great work supporting women vineyard workers, it’s a signature dry and crisp French Rosé from Languedoc. Strawberries and cream are lifted by subtle but vibrant lemon and enforced by steely minerality. Should cost more really (shh!)

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.99 (usually £9.99)

Waitrose White Wines March 2024

Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc

An adventure from the start, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes are grown between historic valleys, picturesque mountains, and wild oceans, before reaching Villa Maria… beneath a volcano. The end product is a signature Marlborough profile in the glass – no bitterness, just refreshing crispness and stunning lightness. Think gooseberry, passion fruit, kiwi and green apple.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.49 (usually £10.99)

Cave de Beblenheim Pinot Gris Reserve

A benchmark Alsace Pinot Gris across all supermarkets, this is stunningly fresh and easy to drink, but with a delicate side that shows more is going on. Pineapple, vanilla, elderflower, melon, and pear intertwine with a richness that coats the tongue. Crowd-pleasing, food-friendly, what more could you want?

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £11.99)

Morande Terrarum Semillon

Semillon was one of the grapes neglected by vineyards for a long time, but as part of a wider effort to revive old vines, it’s developing again. 100-year-old vines go into this complex dry white from Chile, delivering a waxy mouthfeel rich with crisp citrus, floral depths and sweet honey. There’re also some herbaceous green hints going on too. Really interesting wine.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £9.99)

Piccozza Pinot Bianco

This a wonderfully robust Italian Pinot Blanc white in roughly the same vein as a Chardonnay. Orchard fruits come to the fore alongside stone fruits and fragrant jasmine. Smooth and refreshing, the balance is spot on with this one and it’d be a dreamy companion to many fish dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9.74 (usually £12.99)

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Sainsbury’s February/March 2024

We’re back with the latest Supermarket Wine Bargains, hunting down the latest and greatest must try wines discounted this month. These wonderful reds, whites and rosés are all currently on offer at Sainsbury’s (until the 10th March), and nearly every bottle is under £10. They really are incredible value for money this month, so let’s dive in.

*UPDATED: 21/02/2024*

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts February/March 2024

Santodeno Sangiovese Appassimento

This is an Emilia-Romagna Sangiovese from Tenuta Santonedo that is one of the best value reds across all UK supermarkets. Staggeringly easy to drink, the grapes are hand-picked and slow-dried for seductive, ripe richness. Jammy blackberry and cherry come to the fore, with tasty vanilla and enough acidity cutting through. Every sip is super smooth and there really is no better bottle for Italian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Greasy Fingers Luscious Red

Greasy Fingers’ medium-bodied blend of Grenache and Shiraz is a tremendous pickup. Like their big and buttery Chardonnay, it’s made to sing with yummy, greasy food, but there’s a lot more to it. The mouthfeel is super silky and the balance between the Shiraz’s rich fruits and the Grenache’s fruity sweetness is pinpoint perfect. It’s so moreish and easy to love that we fail to see how it couldn’t be a crowdpleaser.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

Journeys End Bluegum Merlot

Over to Stellenbosch now for this ruby red Merlot. The richness of flavour is noticeable straight away, delivering full blackberry and plum. But this is a really big Merlot so there’s so much more – oaky, earthy, almost smoky wafts and subtle graphite notes provide an intoxicating complexity. 14% but very drinkable and interesting,

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £10 (usually £12)

PepperBox Shiraz

Fans of Aussie Shiraz, this is your stop. The nose is instantly captivating with a little liquorice, eucalyptus and of course, luscious dark fruits. The soft viscosity is lovely, as plums, blackcurrants and red cherries reveal themselves amongst the gently spicy depths. That spice comes from noticeable pepper that stands out. We love its indulgence, and think it would be perfect with Sunday Lamb.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts February/March 2024

Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc

One of the best textbook Marlborough Sauvignon’s in Sainsbury’s. The gooseberry nose, the tropical pineapple, and grapefruit tang, it’s all so elegant and crisp. The acidity is razor sharp, but there’s herbaceous nettle notes swirling around too and a well-roundedness to the citrus.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10.50)

Amandla Our Future Sauvignon Blanc

We’ve praised Amandla tonnes before, because not only are they brightening up our shelves with great wine, they’re also an inspiring all black operation with vino star Praisy Dlamini at the hem. This is their zesty Sauvignon that’s full of sunshine – think ripe and tropical notes of pineapple, passion fruit and bright citrus. Dry and with a tip-top sharpness for food too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury's Verdeca Puglia IGT No 26

This is quite a new addition to the Sainsbury’s Discovery collection but has stood out to us and is well worth trying. It’s 100% Verdeca grape from Puglia, which you may never have tried before. Expect citrus with a flash of honey on the nose, leading into a eyebrow raising-ly clean palate of crisp minerality. The citrus that’s there is so fresh, and a little peach and florality adds depth. You just need to look at the label to know when to drink this – it works a treat with fish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £6.50 (usually £8.50)

Atlantique Vinho Verde

A lovely Portuguese blend from the family-owned Casa Santos Lima, the grapes in the Minho are cooled by the Atlantic for wines with great freshness and aroma. The profile is that of a young white, with super crisp acidity and fresh fruits, most notably lemon, lime and apple.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Discounts February/March 2024

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Île-de-Beauté Rosé

This was on offer back in January, so we’re happy to see it back below a tenna (even if it is easily worth more). Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Grenache, Vermentinu and Syrah come together to make quite a mouthful, in more ways than one. Hailing from Corsica, it’s very much a dryer Rosé. A gentle bouquet welcomes the nose and the ripe berries and currants fill out the flavours. Stone fruits pop up before an undertone of pink peppery warmth on the finish. This is one of those Rosés that will win over white and red drinkers.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Freixenet Italian Still Rose

This bottle is also on discount for the same price at Morrisons, so there really is no better time to try it. We’ve all seen the signature bottle, but the wine inside is underrated by many. A blend of Italian Corvina and Garganega, every sip has a seductively soft feel and that’s before the red flood of strawberry and cranberry. Grapefruit brings some bitter balance, and overall it’s just a well put together fruit-forward, fresh Rosé.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10)

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts February 2024

Barossa Ink Shiraz

This is fantastically deep Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. It uses grapes from all over the region, delivering intense opulence. Think mocha notes, blackberries, and plums. It has a great weight to it, and is screaming out to be drank alongside hearty meats.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Terre di Faiano Nero di Troia Organic Wine

Terre di Faiano make some top notch organic wines, and their Nero di Troia is wonderfully fruity and smooth. It really delivers on a fresh feel before delving richer with plums and blackberries and rounding off with oaky vanilla. Must buy at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury's Valpolicella Ripasso, Taste the Difference

This is fantastic value for money, it really is. A four-grape blend of mainly Corvina, they macerate with dried grape skins for added depth and a velvety texture that’s to die for. Vibrant berries meet rich darker fruits and a touch of spice. It isn’t too heavy despite all of that, which is why it’s so well made.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £12 (Buy 3 and save 25%)

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts February 2024

Sainsbury's Riverblock Marlborough Sauvignon, Taste the Difference

If easy-drinking Marlborough Sauvignon is your thing, then this is for you. The freshness is immediately impressive, and the zesty tropical hints are delicious. It can cleanse the palate but also has enough body to stand up to heartier dishes too. You’ll need 3 for the big discount, but if Marlborough Sauvignon is your go to then this won’t let you down.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £10.50 (Buy 3 and save 25%)

Sainsbury's Jurançon Sec, Taste the Difference

Jurançon sits in the sun-drenched foothills of the Pyrenees and is known for indigenous grapes, like the Gros and Petit Manseng in this expression. Usually, you’ll find these make sweeter wines, and though this brings a little of that, it’s very pleasantly dry, zesty, and refreshing – think tangerine and melon. Unique and well worth a go.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (Buy 3 and save 25%)

The Ned Pinot Grigio

This is a Waihopai Valley Pinot Grigio that stands out from the usual style. Behind the seductive salmon blush colouring is an expression brimming with stone fruits. It’s rich, and full-bodied, but the twist that comes is with the lingering minerality that we love. It’s the perfect time to try whilst it’s under a tenner.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

19 Crimes Chard

We’ve featured 19 Crimes a few times because of their consistent quality, and their Chardonnay is yet another wine that delivers. Oak ageing means the melon and stone fruits come through with richness, but the stand out trait is the buttery, full body that makes this a must try at this price point.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Most Wanted Regions Sauvignon Blanc Rueda

This is a benchmark Spanish Sauvignon Blanc from Castilla y Léon. The nose is aromatic with green apples and grass, the palate is brimming with gooseberry and a little kiwi, before a pleasant kick of citrus acidity on the finish. Nom!

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Discounts February 2024

Silver Moki Sauvignon Blush

If you’ve never taken to rosé then we urge you to give this a go, particularly if you’re not keen on the sweetness. This delivers much of the crisp Sauvignon Blanc and slicing citric acidity. Indulgent peach and strawberry offset this harmoniously, but they’re subtler than most rosé expressions. It’s the sophistication and elegance that blows our minds with this bottle though. Worth double the price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Madame F Rosé Wine

There is so much to applaud with this rosé. First, of course, the snazzy frog. Second, its collaboration with a charity trying to create the first LGBTQ+ museum. And thirdly, the liquid. The Grenache and Shiraz combination brings vibrant crowd-pleasing red berries, and there’s enough citrus acidity to make it food-friendly too. Try a glass with seafood paella.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)
