Proper little wine circle we have going here.

I suggest we adopt one of the aforementioned wines as Wine of The Week, and then post our tasting notes.

This isn't the royal 'we'.  I am a man and therefore drink beer.

The wine of the week has to be Aldis Amigo Secreto Chile, £6.99. It's comically good for the price

I'll shut up about it now and look forward to someone posting next weeks 'wine of the week'

Right, JD, your choice is Wine of the Week.

In the spirit of chit chat comradeship, I will try and get hold of a bottle.

I look forward to the chit chat tasting notes.

Re the start wine. This wine is "organic" and is a blend of the grapes/vines Syrah (which the Australians call Shiraz) and Carignan - which is a fashionable southern French Grape variety which also grows well in Chile. This latter grape is epitomised by the French wine Corbieres.

Thanks, Blackburn.  Very educational, which is a big part of the Wine of the Week experiment.

Ta. I'll buy a bokkle tomorrow.

I always buy the Toco Loro when I'm in aldi (which isn't that often because it's mainly for peasants), but I'll try this instead.

Right.  I made a detour to my local Aldi.

There was no Amigo Secreto Chile!

Italian red wine is a good choice at the moment.
It gets you there, and you'll feel a little better because you're helping their economy after last week.

Buying a campagnolo group set would achieve the same effect, but red wine is preferable.

Waitrose Italian 'Rich and Intense' red wine is nice and a bargain when they have their 25% discount on six or three bottles.  It is then just £3.75 for a decent bottle.  It is especially good when you buy  at Waitrose the Sunday or Saturday Telegraph, a cappuccino and three bottles of wine - £11.25!

I might as well be - as I tried Aldi in Bideford while on holiday in an attempt to obtain the Wine of Last Week - but to no avail.

Forgot to add that you only get the coffee and telegraph free if you are a Waitrose member, free to join, and spend over £5 during the week and over £10 at the weekend.
