Cool but that wine is just totally sugar loaded. I find it a little bit sickly it is so sweet.
I do agree it is budget friendly and pleasant. I did like it for a while. Until I realised the sugar content. Which is off the scale.

Thanks for pointing that out, the Shiraz seems to be the worst offender, I prefer the Malbec.

Cheap wine is always poor value for money. The bottling costs; duty; VAT; labelling; corks, stoppers or caps; shipping and storage are almost the same, regardless of end price.
So for example, in a £6 bottle of wine the contents are only worth about 50p. Whereas with a £15 bottle of wine, the contents are worth around £3.

We're in London at the moment and didn't want to cook, so a takeaway margarita pizza with some green vegetables on the side.All valid points... What did you have for dinner last night, Barry?
Marco.
And a bottle of Gallo, White Grenache rose wine to drink.

Steady Barry, that has more sugar in than a Jam Shed Malbec!

3.2g of sugar per 100ml. I bought it for my partner as she likes it, as she does the White Zinfandel (3.9g per 100ml). I also bought a bottle of their Pink Moscato, which has an even higher sugar content: 6.2g per 100ml! Think I'll give that one a miss.
So yes, more sugar than a typical Malbec (about 1g per 100ml) and considerably more than my preferred choice of a decent Chablis (0.1g per 100ml).
Cheers!
Barry
