But for all you Sauvignon Blanc lovers, Waitrose have currently got The Ned at £7.29 a bottle ! (It's usually £10.99)

I didn't buy any myself, but might get one bottle tomorrow.

Sorry merlot I went off the red after around 15 years when that was my glass of choice, now seem to be in the "ABC" camp!

grannyactivist Thu 17-Jul-14 23:46:03

ABC? Anything but Chardonnay?

Agus I`m very partial to a nice Chablis but have to rely on Tesco for the occasional offer they don`t reduce the price often enough!!!

Anne58 Fri 18-Jul-14 09:45:21

merlot going back to the Lidl Sauvignon, I agree that their French one isn't up to much, but the NZ is completely different.

ga got it in one! Although I would never buy it or ask for it on the rare occasions we go to the pub, if someone offered me a glass in their home I wouldn't turn it down, that would be rude! grin

I've given up on the half price offers after hearing that they were probably only worth that price anyway ( would that make a quarter of the original price a bargainhmm). I've yet to buy a dud at M&S tho'

Anne58 Fri 18-Jul-14 12:44:42

Very good Pinot Grigio in Lidl, £4.49 ( I think, well, it's definitely under £5)

Agus Fri 18-Jul-14 12:46:26

If I come across any Chablis reductions you will be the first to know sparkygran grin The offer I found recently was in Waitrose, reduced to £7.

We have a huge Tesco,locally and I find it frustrating having to go up and down so many long aisles searching for products that are continually being moved.

Agus Fri 18-Jul-14 12:53:04

Ah, forgot to mention the Pinot Grigio in Lidl. I'll second that Phoenix smile

Lona Fri 18-Jul-14 13:03:25

@phoenix and Agus Is that Lidl Pinot Grigio fruity?
I usually drink a Merlot from Waitrose which is normally about £7 50ish, so I have to wait for an offer.
It's very fruity and quite delicious I think, but I only drink a couple of small glasses a week, so I won't just drink anything.

merlotgran So agree -Toro Loco is excellent - we bought a few for our 'cellar' - actually a dark bit of the pantry ....

Anne58 Fri 18-Jul-14 13:07:22

It's white Lona

Lona Fri 18-Jul-14 14:42:11

Well, that's no good then! Thanks p

Agus Fri 18-Jul-14 15:13:03

Just noticed in Asda Nobilis S Blanc for £5..can't vouch for it's taste, though, maybe others would know it.

I never took to red wine at all regardless of trying some that others rave about.

henetha Fri 18-Jul-14 17:55:45

My preference is Banana Milk Shake. £1.20 per litre in Tesco. wink

Ana Fri 18-Jul-14 18:01:46

Ooh! I love banana milk shakes - I mix my own using Nesquik as I find the ready-made ones too sweet.

henetha Fri 18-Jul-14 18:10:56

Yes, Nesquik is great, Ana. I actually prefer Banana Milk Shake to any wine!

sparkygran Fri 18-Jul-14 18:34:45

GNetters, GNetters lets get back to the serious business of wines. Tonight because of dinner am on the white a very nice Pinot Grigio. You see it doesn`t have to be red wine. I do love Chablis hurry up Tesco`s and put it on offer

rubysong Fri 18-Jul-14 20:40:26

We used to go to Asda but I always came home with headache. I don't know why. Now we have a Tesco near us so that's where we go.

merlotgran Fri 18-Jul-14 21:18:36

Too hot for red wine tonight. Lovely long, cool G&T and then I might find my way to the fridge in which lurks a bottle of Pinot Grigio.

Nonu Fri 18-Jul-14 21:21:06

I am having a "Bud", long & cool also shifts the windy pops !

Ana Fri 18-Jul-14 21:27:20

TMI Nonu! (I'd have thought a Bud would give you more of them...hmm)

Agus Fri 18-Jul-14 21:34:07

Certainly would in my case Ana. I would probably explode.

Possibly too much more TMI grin

Ana Fri 18-Jul-14 21:50:55

grin

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 18-Jul-14 22:20:16

Well I've been on the fizzy water so I'll probably be trumping all night.

TMI Ana? grin

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 18-Jul-14 22:21:10

All tht wine has got calories you know. hmm
