Don't tell anyone.......

I'm with you ga and bee. We only buy wines over a fiver at Christmas (and then not much over a fiver!). I also buy Aldi wine. They do a nice one for £3.99 (can't think what it's called). Asda used to do 3 for a tenner but they have stopped this offer now They were nice wines, you could pick from a few different ones. I can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive, but I know what tastes nice to me. We used to do the 'booze run' to France and some of the wines were ridiculously cheap and they were great.

Try Aldi - they do some super wines under £4- honestly. When we lived in Spain when my OH was working there, the most wonderful wine was a local vineyard and cost I Euro. Got happily plastered on that a few times

Oh phoenix I don't think I've ever paid more than a fiver for a bottle of wine more than a couple of times in my life (except for special sparkly stuff). One of my friends, early in our relationship, was once so horrified by the plonk I served her that she has always brought her own ever since. There are now several brands that I believe are 'good' and I look out for them on special offer - but always for under a fiver because I can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive wine. For me, spending more than a fiver would be throwing pearls before swine.
