Decent red wine for a tenner? (better than Barossa Ink)

[richard at home]

I love a bottle of Barossa Ink, very fruity, smooth and very drinkable. Hangover free too.

I'm struggling to find anything better for around a tenner a bottle.

Any suggestions for a good quaffing wine?

I like full bodied, fruity wines with little tannins.

Already tried Carnivor Zinfandel, Apothic (yeah, its super sweet) and Dark Horse Cab. Sauv.

Cheers!

Porta6 is my go to

Pigassou:

Delightfully blackberryish, 14% ABV, light on the tannin. What's not to like.

I like - Bread & Butter Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, California - I paid £10 a bottle last time but it seems a bit higher at the moment.
The Porto6 is a good choice as well.
Velvet Devil - again around £14 a bottle in a lot of places but often a lot cheaper in Costco.

+1 for Barossa Ink (especially at £7.50 when Tesco have 25% off six), also +1 for Porta 6 but not as good as Barossa - but that’s just me, the best wines are the ones that YOU like

One of my favourites, very occasionally available for £11-12 from laithwaites or Sunday times wine club

£10 at Tesco and very smooth.

Yep, gets expensive working my way through the tesco top shelf and being disappointed, bottle after bottle, once you've had 'Ink'! I even converted an Aussie to it...

And the 25% off means loading up the trolley with 12 bottles, every time!

Another new one to me. Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Thanks, some more to add to my tasting session!

Hmmm, I do like a nice Pinotage...

Sainsbury’s TTD Zinfandel - from Chronic cellars. Usually on at £9. Like posh alcoholic ribena. I do not have sophisticated tastes in wine.

I scrolled down to add this - really like this wine (and have bought fresh bottles repeatedly). The Porta 6 is also very good.

Sorry to say that I really liked Jamshed Malbec! I suspect it has been packed full of sugar, but it went down very well.

The Porta6 is great stuff…

the LB7 that majestic do is also a good Portuguese red

You can’t beat this one from Aldi for value for money though

But if you are in majestic for a little bit more though I would say go for this at £13.99

[Evoluzione]

Yellowtail Shiraz or Merlot.

19 crimes is a lovely Australian drop.

There are a few different ones within the range. All delicious. Full bodied and full of flavour.

Finca Las Moras Malbec from the Co-op, around the £7 mark.
