Supermarket Wine Bargains: Sainsbury’s May 2024

Sainsbury’s shoppers and wine lovers, we’re back with some offers you cannot miss. We’ve been through every bottle on offer until the 14th May, and this is the cream of the crop when it comes to undeniable value. Reds, Rosé and Whites, all for under £10. Let’s dive in.

Sainsbury’s Red Wines May 2024

Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva Douro DOC

This is a refined Portuguese red hailing from the heart of Douro. When you’re sipping it, you’ll wonder how they get so much spicy depth and rich back fruits. The answer is a year of Vintage Port finishing. Bold but perfectly nuanced. For a tenner, wow.

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

Santodeno Negroamaro

This inky red began life at the sunny heel of Italy’s boot, making great use of the ‘bitter black’ grape. The result is intense richness and dark fruits galore – plum, blackberry and blackcurrant. There’s a welcome touch of oaky spice rounding things off too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Mucho Mas Vino Tinto

We love spotting this in offer. For just £7, it’s an absolute bargain. Mucho Mas remain family-owned, despite expansion, and this Spanish red is one of their best value bottles. It’s as red as red gets, with ripe, jammy berries sliding into bright fig and plum. Add a crack of black pepper and vanilla undertone, and you’ve got one hell of an easy-drinking glugger.

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

Wise Wolf Cabernet Sauvignon

Off the bat, Wise Wolf stands out for their stumpy bottle made from 100% recycled glass. It looks more like posh olive oil than wine, but we like it. Inside, we’ve got Languedoc-Roussilon Red. It’s oaky and brimming with black fruit flavours on the nose and in the mouth. It isn’t overly dry either. Great with steak, but let it breathe for an hour before enjoying.

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

Sainsbury’s Rosé Wines May 2024

Silver Moki Sauvignon Blush

Think Rosé is all too sweet? Try this. The crisp Sauvignon Blanc really shines, bringing razor sharp citrus. Softening that is juicy peach and subtly sweet strawberry, but both much milder than most Rosé blends. Sophisticated and punches well above its price point.

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

Villa Maria Blush Sauvignon

What a lovely light Rosé this is. It pours such a delicate and seductive pale pink, with strawberries and raspberries hitting the nose. Kiwis join the red berries after the first sip, as well as grapefruit tang. Refreshing, sweet where it needs to be, and citrus to cut through – hard not to like.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10)

Sainsbury’s White Wines May 2024

Mud House Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

There’s a lot of competition in the Marlborough Sauvignon space at the moment, so gems like this are a godsend. The crispness is super intense with overwhelming refreshment. Beyond that, a tropical tang breaks through as well as a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel. Pair with seafood and enjoy.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

19 Crimes Chard

19 Crimes are a source of top-notch value across the board. Their Chard brings a rich quality to the stone fruit notes present, but what we think you’ll love most about it is the creamy, full boy with plenty of butter. Opulent Ozzy white.

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

Sainsbury's New Zealand Pinot Gris, Taste the Difference

Sainsbury’s’ Taste the Difference range is quite a rich vein for bargains like this New Zealand Pinot Gris. It’s medium dry, mellow, and fruit-forward – think peach and melon. The classic Marlborough steely minerality is present too, leaving a clean feel that’s absolutely gorgeous.

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

Barone Montalto Grillo Sicilia DOC

Barone Montalto is a lovely Sicilian winery, and this is their 100% Grillo. The up-front citrus is impossible to ignore, but that soon dies down in favour of big, bold tropical sweetness. Flecks of green apple come and go too. Relaxed, honeyed and with nice weight.

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

Sainsbury’s Red Wines April 2024

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. The fruity flavours are memorably deep, most notably cherry, blackberry and damson. Vanilla and dark chocolate round things off indulgently.

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

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

The Ned Sauvignon Blanc

The Ned are a constant source of value on the supermarket shelves. Their Kiwi Sauvignon goes with everything, delivering tremendous freshness and dryness. Think zippy lime, tropical touches and minerality where required. Solid as a rock.

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.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)!

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%
Find here: £7.75 (usually £9.25)
