    I have drunk better - but at a much higher price! Even so, I can see me returning for a few more bottles.


    You might be interested in the 2010 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi available from M&S at £7.49.



    This is well worth the extra over the Tesco version (at £4.80 a bottle)




    However if you want to push the boat out a little, I can thoroughly recommend an Austrian white: Gruner Veldliner.



    Available from Tesco at £7.49 a bottle.

    That's a shame Julian. It seems that various branches of supermarkets have some autonomy when it comes to offers.

    Alex (Alex_UK) some time ago posted about a very attractively priced Margaux seen at his Aldi. Sadly it was not available at my local branch.

    Oh Marco - is this the best you can do?

    You know I type too quickly and don't proof-read carefully enough! Verbum sapientii satis.





    Anyway, I'm halfway through a bottle of the Co-0p 2010 Pouilly - Fuissé, so I don't care.
