Budget Help - Bargain Fizz under £4 a bottle - help for those sorting out their own supplies

? I've already sorted our sparkling but really struggling on a red. Could I take advantage of your wine geek skills to recommend a red (to go with pork and onion sauce), between 6 and 8 pounds, and preferably from Tescos.

Or is that too cheeky ?

Super advice!

I actually had a bunch of girlfriends over to our flat for dinner the other week with the request that they bring a bottle around 10CHF (I'm in Switzerland - this is around 7 GBP) to road test for the wedding. We all agreed on Cava Cristalino Brut (around 4 GBP) and Aldi's NZ Sauvignon Blanc (around 5 GBP).

I am still hunting for a red. The local wine is ok, but I don't think it will suit our British guest's tastes, as it's quite different in style to the choice we have in the UK.

For that price might just go and get some anyway to celebrate the weekend ??

I'll drink to that! ??

Hi Loobylou

How about these:

1. http://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?searchBox=inycon&id=264734159

on 3 for 12 at the moment usualy over £5 a bottle. Lovely stuff if you like spicy reds

2. http://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?searchBox=fairhills&id=265027868 this is much smoother than no.1 Super wine for @ £6 a bottle

Ohh Hitchers are so nice! I have never seen someone say 'No sorry, I'm too busy' Or ignore someone asking for help.

It makes me smile to see that decent people still prevail in the world!!! ?

Bouncing for LoobyLou to see?

We bought this red:

http://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?N=8132+4294967084&No=10&id=266686569

As its a really easy-drinking Shiraz. We got it whilst it was half price during the wine fesitval (bargain!) and tried it before we ordered and both liked it.

We're having lamb but I think it would go with pork as it is really light and wouldnt overwhelm the dish.

I also liked:

http://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?No=50&N=8132+4294967141&id=257225225

But my OH didnt so we went with the Shiraz and we both liked that one. Its quite a smooth red but think the Shiraz was lighter and was the safer option.
