I have to caveat this review by saying that I am in no way a wine expert! But If I'm not going out at the weekends I love to relax in front of the tv with a glass of red wine - I've tried a variety of red wines and this is an old reliable which I buy again and again. The wine tastes fruity and mellow; consistency wise it is quite light and smooth and easily drank! But be warned, whilst the wine tastes light it is 12% alcohol and after a long days work one large glass is enough to make me feel a little lightheaded! Saying that I would usually have a few glasses without waking up with even so much as a hint of hangover (apparently good quality wine is less likely to give you a hangover, although maybe I just don't drink enough!)

In regards to nibbles I think this wine goes really well with meat and cheese. As with all reds unfortunately this does stain teeth and lips al little

A bottle is very affordable (usually £5-7 depending on the off license) and I personally prefer it to a lot of more expensive bottles. However if you are looking for a very strong flavoured wine this isn't for you.
