I buy form Costco or Majestic
Whispering Angel is a new favourite of a friend of mine. We were discussing that over the summer. I haven't tried it myself.

I tend to only drink red but I do like fizz too.
However, I really like Albariņo at the moment. Waitrose have a nice one and it's currently got 20% off

We don't have much of a stock at present as we're between houses.
DH drinks mostly red and I tend to drink rose as I can't get on with red wine anymore. 😔 The Three Choirs is nice. I'm having a glass now! We both like whites like Pouilly-Fuisse. Some years ago we went on holiday with friends where we stayed in Epernay and visited a different champagne house for a tasting every day. 😁
The same friends bought us a membership to the Wine Society and we've had some nice wines from them.

I had never heard of whispering angel until recently. My hairdresser loves it - think she maybe first tried it on a cruise.

I belong to a couple of online wine clubs (Naked Wines and Virgin Wines) and since I've been ordering their reds I really have noticed a difference. My favourite is this one:



All of the Kimbao reds I've enjoyed. If we go out I usually order Shiraz or Merlot, depending on what is available.

My 'go to' in our local supermarket is Hardys Crest Shiraz.

As much as I like red, I'm not a fan so much of Rioja.
