Anyway, enough of this whisky pish! Popped into Lidl earlier and grabbed some bargain (high-quality) vino:
Some truly great wines there at, quite frankly, daft prices!
The Chianti Riserva DOCG, in particular, is an absolute stonker - one of thee best I've ever had, and could easily command a price of three times that amount!!

I will get to Lidl but its not somewhere we normally shop, we do go to Aldi though. as for buckfast not tasted it in about 40 years. At my age I remember when people in this area area thought wine came in three flavours, dinner wine, clear wine or dark wine.Ah, so you know?

Lol, no worries... You do realise that I'll keep hounding you until you go!
Aldi is fine, but Lidl have the better wine selection.
