Have to say, that box of wine i got from Tesco online over Xmas was superb.
Portugese red, Tagus Creek i think it was called...outstanding.

If any Spanish wine lovers on here are interested Asda has got a few Reserva and Gran Reserva Riojas on special at the mo.

Not necessarily cheap, but very good value.

Just got two dozen bottles from Tesco finest range. Had £60 of their vouchers, which I doubled to £120 in a promotion and spent it all on wines

In addition my quarterly Laithwaites box of reds just turned up so, all in all, here's to a very merry Christmas!

Wish I'd supped it all! Just found out a sneak thief has been in our garage and nicked about 20 bottles, mix of Tesco and Laithwaites. They could've left me one bottle for Sunday tea! Barstewards!

Well, that sucks! Any insurance?

Possibly. I'm just thinking myself lucky at the moment though as there is an unlocked internal door from garage to house. Could've been a whole lot worse. We live at the end of a culdesac with no passing foot traffic. Probably someone looking for scrap and finding £200 of wine instead.

Lovin your sympathy, Bruce! How do you know about fwins?

2 points .... well, 3.

First, commiserations.

Then, do you think, possibly, someone knew ?
Finally, that's a 'nice' haul .... expect a revist sometime.

Monty ... quite apart from the lost no-claims, the insurance will simply say it's his fault for not keeping it secure.

[Bruce Rioja]

Lovin your sympathy, Bruce! How do you know about fwins?

How? Because twice I've had cars broken into, and despite me once having named and pointed the Police in the very direction of the person that had carried it out, I was palmed off with a FWIN rather than the arrest and conviction of the guilty party. Apparently that was all I really needed, apparently, according to GMP. So, did you get a FWIN or do they get the helicopter out when a Rozzer's wine's been robbed?

[Bruce Rioja]

Feel the TW love.

Bruce, if you spot any of that there Rhone Vally stuff (indeed any from anywhere in the Rhone) from 2010 buy immediately. It was, so the word on the street says, a Monster Year.

Just picked up a mixed dozen from Carrefour for €60. Chin chin.

Co-Op currently has Brancott Estate Pinot Noir, which is usually around £11 there and everywhere else, on offer for £7.49 a pop.

Good value at that price, I would say.

It seems a bit overpriced to me if you are talking 2011. It sells here for $9.00-16.00 (depending on provincial tax)- I've noted we tend to pay more for wine as a rule than is the case in the UK. I like some New Zealand whites but not a particular fan of their reds.

Yes, it's 2011. Overpriced at £7.49?

My girlfriend and I do like the New Zealand pinot noirs, most of which tend to come in at around the £10 mark in supermarkets.

Then buy a case! Wait, isn't she the one with the drinking problem....
