£3.99 from Aldi, I drink a lot of it and prefer it to many dearer Australian wines
Annoyingly, I'm SoL due to a high ALT reading in a routine check at the Dr.

Aldi and Lidl are killing it too but I find that their stocking levels are extremely variable... I've been known to buy a case and a half one day and the next time walk out with nothing because the shelves are empty. If they can sort supply-chain issues it would be even better.
I can vouch!

I like my wines balanced and easy to drink - I've heard it described as "quality table wine" rather than "interesting wine". Interesting wines don't do much for me, but I think my tastes just struggle to pick them apart.
Odd, as I have no trouble with coffees and cocktails.
In general I think that supermarket ranges are simply too wide, unless you take the time pick your way through, but life is too short. Avoid 3 for £10, a £5 bottle allows about 37p for the wine, the rest is duty, vat, packaging, logistics, margin. A £10 bottle allows about £2.80 for the wine, so the more one pays the better the quality, usual thing.
Majestic - well they have thinned their range of late, and to get a comparable price to elsewhere one has to buy 2.
If you are looking for sparkling, think of Cava (made the same way as champagne), Waitrose have a Codorniu vintage for about £11, so much better than sugary monotone Prosecco (made in bulk in tank); for Champagne head for the Co-op, they have a non-vintage made for them by Heidsieck for about £16 the last time I looked, terrific quality for the price, they do a vintage too at a little over £20.
I could go on ...
Totally agree about Cava, it's hugely underrated.
When its on offer at Sainsburys Lagunilla rioja is around £5-£6 a bottle and is excellent. even good old Hardys Crest chardonnay when on offer is around £5 and that is a really nice middle of the road white.
