EagleCrest Chardonnay Wine - £2.00 at Sainsbury’s

eaglechardonnay1I must say I have not tried this wine, but looking at the reviews it doesn’t do so badly. From what I read it could do with being a little more dry, but for £2 it is excellent value and from what I can see it is a loss leader, as opposed to being massively poor quality. If there is any in stock over the weekend I will certainly purchase a few bottles.

Looks like a good opportunity to stock up for Christmas… beat the old “credit crunch!”

Cycles Gladiator Pinot Noir

cycles-gladiatorGoing with the theory that every pound you spend over a fiver gives much better wine, I splashed out on this bottle from the co-op. It is a Pinot Noir but almost has a hint of Grenache to it. It has striking berry flavours and is so smooth!

The label is interesting and it would be a great wine to take to a party, as it has a lovely taste and you can bet your bottom dollar most people will not have seen it before!

Jacobs Creek Chardonnay and Shiraz £3.00 bottle @ Tesco

Jacobs Creek is one of those “safe bet” wines, and for £3 a bottle it’s got to be worth stocking up on.

McGuigan Estate Shiraz (2008)

This is on sale at Sainsbury’s, half price, £3.99!

This is a fantastic wine, especially for £3.99. It has great legs (ooh err) and a smooth taste. I reviewed the 2005 a while ago but this is almost the same. Great wine and a great price!

Grab it while the offer lasts!
