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%
Find here: £7.75 (usually £9.25)
