Subject: RE: BS: Real men don’t drink wine
I don't like paying more than five quid for wine, so it generally means I'm on the hunt for special offers or 25% off six. Sometimes I can indulge in creative accounting allowing me to include a more expensive bottle or two in my six, as long as the overall total doesn't exceed thirty quid. I can include my five-quid Morrisons vouchers in these nefarious fiscal practices. Currently, Viña Sol is two for ten quid at Morrisons and a fiver a bottle at Asda, very quaffable without being exactly brilliant. Waitrose have a white South African wine (oops!) called Whale Caller that is pleasant, and their Rich And Intense Italian red is very good at that price. Lidl Peuceta Primitivo is a brilliant bargain at £4.99. The best catch at the moment, if you can ever find it, is Asda Wine Atlas Negroamaro 2016 at £5.68. It would be a beauty even at ten quid, I tell you. And, to finish, I can tell you that sometimes you really DO have to be a real man to drink cheap wine...
