Sainsbury's House Pinot Grigio
Has anyone tried this?
I bought it because it's...er... cheap. But it's like water. I had to double check to the bottle to see if I'd bought something non alcoholic by mistake.

So I guess I was the only one daft enough to fall for the cheap wine. A bottle for less than the cost of a small glass in a restaurant - yeah I should have known.

Usually 3.99, tastes nice and is 12%.
Well worth it and does the job.

I can't believe how cheap wine is in the supermarket.. it seems to have become cheaper than say, 5 years ago
I don't buy wine much so I hadn't noticed prices going down!Got a bottle of Lindelman's South African Chenin Blanc Chardonnay for £3.45 in ASDA a few weeks ago It was 12.5% which I'd say is pretty good for cheap wine too, I noticed quite a few 9%-11% wines for a similar price.I would have 'valued' it at least £6 or £7 (as in, I would have paid that much for it had I not known the true price). |

Popped into my local Co-Op last night for a bottle of Pinot Grigio and the cheapest one they sell is £7.99, was OK but not worth the price

Our local shop is selling (bucket loads) of Gallo, Blossom Hill and Echo Falls 3 for £10, the EF is not that great but the other 2 are not bad at all for the price. While i am here, same shop is selling 8 x 440ml cans of Skol lager £2.99 and not out of date either, i know it is only 2.8% but it's still OK when you've had a few normals drinks at the pub.

Pretty much all Pinot Grigios are crap. Preferred tipple of those who don't actually like wine.

Sainsbury's organic Pinot Gregio is only £6.99 on special offer. Is pretty good IMO.
