The Wotwine site is good for supermarket value although I can't find some of the years that they mention.
They've missed a Portuguese red Rabo De Galo from Iceland. Dirt cheap but full-bodied.
I air it by pouring it into a jug and then back into the bottle. I am a simple man.

That's certainly a LOT better than not airing it at all. Clever little trick!

I find living on my own I tend to drink less wine because I can't get through the whole bottle on my own. Tends to lead to me throwing a lot away.

You sir are a philistine.

The one basic tip I have learnt about red wine is to let it breathe properly.
Open the bottle 30 minutes before you want to glug it and use those
big, goldfish bowl size glasses. Basic stuff I know but the difference
in taste is amazing. My mate got a wine aerator as a leaving present
from work and swears blind by it.

pour it in a jug and use a food processor to hyperdecant it

Can’t say I recommend this one;

Marques de Riscal Gran Reserva for me this evening. Nice little Monday treat.

Smooth and fruity. Delicious.

Got my order from Capreo arriving tomorrow (fingers crossed)... eleven bottles of South African wine delivered to my door for £140.

And on that note, currently in your local Waitrose at £10.99 per bottle: South Africa's answer to champagne

Found memories of my K² nights at uni (K cider and ketamine) there.

Got a Baron de Ley reserva on the go at the moment. Lovely rich Rioja.

Fighting palette fatigue with the ol' single malt whisky at the moment...bought this completely on the blind last week as I'm not that picky with wine (as in I'm not spending more than $20 on a bottle). Was good enough to get two more bottles today on the way home from work. As ever, your mileage may vary.

Accompanying the match with a Kaiken Estate Malbec 2018. Not as good as the last Kaiken I posted but for €7 not bad. You can really taste the plum/prune in it

Yes!!!! Made up, discovered this in NZ years ago then it showed up in Majestic for a bit, then completely disappeared, I've just found it in my local Co-op, its a first rate dry, tropical Marlborough savvy and one of my favourite wines.

Thinking of ordering some uruguayan tannat from Vivino

Got a Baron de Ley reserva on the go at the moment. Lovely rich Rioja.

Purchased 6 bottles when it was on offer at tesco (before Christmas)
