There was a long thread about this a few months ago. Get someone who likes bringing old threads back to find it for you.
It's a bit too modern for me to revive  |

that would be a pint of london pride then

try a rioja reserva, plenty around 8-10 quid
its tough if we dont know what sort of reds you may have previously enjoyed |
|
By:
8 - 10 is double what ya need to pay to get a quaffable red
|
|
By:
Agree with Donny, but given your limited preferences, Italian Amarone would seem a perfect fit, and don't buy the cheapest you can find; expect to pay around £15.
|
|
By:
Yes, Tesco do a very drinkable Cabernet Sauvignon for a bit under 4 quid.
|
|
By:
Delta - quaffable was not part of his criteria, nor did he state a budget. Buckie would probably meet his criteria as stated, but given he said "good" there seems to be a quality element to his requirements.
|
|
By:
the 5 quid stuff with nice pictures on the labels is ideal for gifts, imo
|
|
By:
Do not pay any more than £5 a bottle. Isla Negra is fine , at a little less than that.
|
|
By:
what is Buckie?
|
|
By:
I can't normally drink cheap red but gave the Tesco one a go a few months ago, and no probs with it.
At under 4 quid, it will do for me. |

By:
Given his requirements, any wine made from Cab Sav is likely to be too dry for him. Isla Negra is just a brand, not a wine, BUT is a reasonable cheap choice, BUT BUT to meet his criteria you would need to specify the Merlot they do, which is very smooth (and bland
 . Spot - you can google Buckie.  - you wouldn't want to drink it, although many do |

Crags - Excellent post on Buckie, and given your opinion, it will help the O.P. rule out any of your proper wine recommendations

I'm certainly not an expert like ye, blackbarn

By:
Just a hobby, crags
but I do like my wine. My next door neighbour has 40 acres of vines producing top quality English wine (and yes I do mean that) |
|
By:
lucky you! I have heard some good things about English wine. Some place in Sussex turns out a very good one apparently, not tried it.
|
|
By:
crags, I am in Mid Sussex, halfway between Brighton and Gatwick. PM me if you want some recommendations, they get fussed with posting trade links on here.

Cheers.

I think there was a Pinot Noir from the Bolney estate recommended in the Times last weekend.
|
|
By:
No disrespect but for red wine its got to be French.
Chateau Belles Eaux. Or if you want to spoil yourself go for a Leoville Barton. If you want to go berserk make it a 1970. |
|
By:
go with the brain washing.... prosecco .
|
|
By:
I'm with Donny on Rioja, the tempranillo from Lidl called Toro Loco very good for the price (about £4 I think).
|

Had a fabulous bottle of Felsina Vin Chianti Classico this week, £30 Waitrose. It's quite alcoholic but has an amazing long, broad finish. Make sure you decant it first for it to really get going.

Bodega Renacer Enanore just over £20 (but it's Christmas)

Amerone an excellent red
|

By:
El mason, gran reserva from Asda's extra special range. Tesco do a similar one, Tescos finest rioja, gran reserva.
Mason is £10.98, Tesco's one is £10. These two will not be beaten for value imo If you just want a cheap one, Aldi's Arghentine malbec for £5.99 is very good. |

Mick Sturbs has impeccable taste, even though he can't spell Amarone
Mick - see my below post from 10pm last night |
