Wine recommendations, please

I want to buy a bottle of red wine as an anniversary present (budget is £10-£15). Does anybody have recommendations of what's good, and what isn't. I also need it for Tuesday evening - which may rule out internet shops.

Thanks

Avoid the bigger supermarkets at that price. Ask at Oddbins - their staff are usually pretty good. Difficult to recommend anything specifically at that price as there are literally thousands of wines out there and I don't know what the recipient likes.

I'm not really sure what the recipient likes, I'm just after something that doesn't taste like drain cleaner. Thanks for the reply; will go hunting this afternoon.

Personally I'm a fan of Chateauneuf du Pape, which you'll probably be able to find around that price.

If you do get to Oddbins, I think the d'Arenburg (think that's the name - they have a diagonal red stripe across the label) wines are very good for the money.

You could try Faustino 7, it's a rioja that I like or also Campo Viejo silver label is really nice. They sell the Faustino in Tesco, but I think you'd have to go to a wine merchant for the Campo.
