Christmas Wine

This is the point.

A £6 bottle of wine will be awful. Even a £10 bottle has no revenue for the grower.

That few quid extra makes a big difference to the quality of what goes into the bottle.

Not that I’m a wine buff. But I do pay a bit more for exactly this reason. I saw it on the telly

Just before lockdown a standard affordable drinky for the housy in the eveningy for me was Picpoul de Pinet, a white Languedoc from Tesco , was £7 and on offer or multi offer could pick it for £6.. Today its £9.50

That's a decent budget wine and normally about £10, when I buy it online. You get some promo pricing in the supermarkets where a better wine is discounted.

Christmas wine is already boxed off, 6 bottles of Cabaletta Rosso.

Cabaletta Rosso - Yorkshire Vintners

An absolute snip at £10.50 a bottle.

I strongly recommend this one.
Pricey though

Can I recommend this red from Georgia? It is absolutely delicious.

Wow - looks great.
Thanks

Meant to say - if it’s anything like Albanian wine (and I’m sure it is). It will be a cracker.
Got a case of Albanian on its way to me as we speak.

Any recommendations for a Primitivo?

These two are absolute stunners if you are into primitivo.

I'm looking forward to having my last bottle this year.

The Stella Artois 18 pack comes in at a reasonable £14.. that's around 78p a can for premium Belgian lager.

The savings can really be felt when a few cans are supped before a trip to the pub with friends and acquaintances.

Lets not forget value of taking the edge off insufferable b***ds giving it ya ya and air fryer as soon as you walk though the door.

I love a bottle of red wine ,but I think £60 would be wasted on me . I just had a lovely Cote du Rhone from Aldi for £5.20, I would hate to guess how much wine I'm getting after the duty was removed.
