If you have an Asda nearby get some Tunante Rioja Joven,it's lovely stuff.
£7.47 a bottle OR 3 for £10
Got some yesterday. Don't usually have Rioja (not sure why!) but will maybe uncork one this weekend.

This is a little off topic. If a bottle of Rioja cost 3 euro in Euro in Spain and 7 quid in England or 3 for a tenner? Do people in England feel that they are getting ripped off?

we are big time, the idea of wine being 'posh', import & taxation costs contribute.
in france, the super market are stocked full of wines at 4 euros that you would pay 10 quid for in the uk.

It was me !
I don't usually buy Rioja in the uk,mainly because I don't like spending more than a fiver on a bottle,most that I've tried have been a disapointment,however in spain even sub 3 euro examples have been good.
must go to asda tomorrow....

Got a couple of bottles of that, plus an Isla Negra - always a good standby!
Got a lovely case of Camden Park Malbec (picture of a bull on it) this Xmas.
I think you can get it in Asda for about £7/£8, but it is really, really good.
I admit i know very little about wine apart from the fact i like these:
Red:
Valpollicello
Malbec
Rioja
Barolo
White:
Chablis
Sancerre
Pinot Grigio
I tend to chose the brand if i think that the label on the bottle is pretty.
Plus i like red wine slightly cold.
I think you have picked the 3 best whites there, not that I know much or drink it much, im more a red man. Rioja by the way is the region of spain the wine comes from, eg like a bordeaux. You can get white rioja as well. Red riojas tend to be made from Tempranilo or Granache grapes. Thats as much as I know.
Jacobs Creek do a fizzy shiraz which is lovely chilled.
I'll keep an eye open for that, it sounds right up my street.
I like Chablis because you can almost guarantee it will be good, regardless of the label etc.
I first tasted Sancerre in Marrakech years ago but struggled to find it in many places afterwards but you can get it everywhere nowadays.
