Glad you enjoyed the suggested budget wines but be aware that with a £5 bottle of wine, by the time you remove the tax and duty you end up with 31p worth of wine. With a £7.50 bottle, you end up with £1.43 worth of wine.

Sure I've a bottle of that jam shed In cupboard. Must have bought it some time ago tho as I've not been in a shop
Aye, like a tampon is as a teabag!:eyebrows:
Yeah that PG looks decent. A good alternative to Pinot Grigio is Vermentino, which is more golden in colour, richer and fruitier, but not drier. Still nice and crisp though, and ideal chilled for summer glugging!
If you've got an Aldi near you, this is very good for the money: https://www.aldi.co.uk/pierre-jauran...09970468242600
Ignore the fact that it's French!:D Seriously though, both countries can handle each other's grape varieties with considerable aplomb. Pinot Grigio is the same as Pinot Gris.
There are loads of interesting Italian white grape varieties, which have lots to offer over the 'usual suspects'. Trebbiano and Vernaccia are two others.

What's the alcohol content - something like 13.5% (typical Shiraz)? It *could* still be ok, given the higher alcohol content, as opposed to the 11-12.5% of other table wines. but it's needs drinking now or using in cooking!:)

yeah 2019 and 13.5% by vol. been stored cool tho that cupboard is on an outside wall. i will use it in a couple of meals and have a couple of glsses too. ive still got some of that batch i showed you a year or 2 ago lol. it was higher class tho
Yeah, if it's still for sale, I'd like to buy it from you when I come up next time:)
Marco.
