My favourite wines are any by Ernst and Julio Gallo..particularly their White Grenache...At around £5 a bottle it is good value....
The challenge...something better and as cheap or cheaper please.
Best wishes.

Marks and Spencers Orvieto is an impishly dry little white that tickles and teases the taste buds for a mere £4.

I've given up on wine. Doesn't seem to agree with me anymore. I drink orange juice, apple juice, and other stuff like that. Oh, and tea.

I have been sampling some of the German Riesling and French Beaujolais varieties, aiming at the $10 and a little under range.

Mouton Cadet Bordeaux at about $7.00 a bottle is a heckuva bargain as is Little Penguin Shiraz at the same price (their cabernet ain't bad either).
Jellyroll Morton gave himself the moniker "winin' boy" because at the end of an evenings entertainment he'd gather up all the dead soldiers and pour the remaining contents into one bottle and then shake it up and drink it. I think that's the way he told it.
