Go on then, it's nearly the bank holiday weekend. Current recommendations please for good but relatively inexpensive wine (less than £15), white or red so everyone can stock their rack or fridge

Beer lovers- this is a wine thread

Where's Elephantis when you need him? He's more qualified in this department when he's not marking exam papers.

I don't drink wine at all but good quality and inexpensive don't usually go together when buying Wine, unless you dont mind if it tastes like Nero's bath water.

Is deleting the opening post your trademark or something?

I forget to add emojis at the end for that important facial expression. Are you keeping an eye on me?

I’ve just commented on a couple and I think they’ve all had the opening post deleted

I agree and certainly that is very true for red wine. I like to present a challenge and there are sometimes some real gems out there.

Just outside the price range, but ideal for a sunny weekend:

Waitrose sells a pretty decent bottle of valpolicella - just under £15. Let it breathe/decant it if wanted to but it's not bad if you drink it straight away. Think it's part of their No 1 range?

My garden is a hundred-acre wood. My hose doesn't reach that far.

Stick with French wine if you can. The inexpensive ones - ie under a tenner are still reasonable quality. I like a French Sauvignon the best but you can find a decent Chardonnay and loads of different reds. Between £8 and £12.

They have less sulphites so I can actually drink them. New world wines tend to be full of crap from how they’re filtered so can definitely give you a worse hangover.

All the supermarkets have good ranges of these and it’s just about finding what style of wine you like the best.

Just my 2p worth having been a Beer, Wines and Spirits buyer for over 10 years.

But wine is subjective. Find what you like and go with that.

Happy bank holiday

Just finishing off a glass now, think I may need to go to bed as it is an early start.

Surrey mostly when over

How about a Cahor red? Greatly undervalued and you’ll get a belter for that money. Or for something lighter, a Chinon/Loire red? Failing those, doa little research and I’m sure you’ll get a decent Languedoc for that money .
