is fortinia wine any good? My dad bought it for my wedding and won't say how much he paid but knowing him thats not good.

I have fortinia chardonnay and fortinia blush? anyone like this wine, cheap, expensive etc

I've come across the Fortinia brand on the 'bargain offer' shelves of the types of convenience stores/newsagents which frequently seem to be run by Asian families. They qualify as 'perfectly drinkable but nothing special, although surprisingly good for the small amount of money being asked for them'.

Try a Google search for 'Fortinia wine'. It brings up to a link to a Facebook page which I can't open because I'm not on Facebook. However the visible snippet reads "Special offer: Fortinia wine (Merlot & Pinot Grigio) now just £2.99!" and the heading refers to a convenience store!

As a basic table wine, to be drunk with a meal at your wedding, it will probably be perfectly acceptable for most guests but I'd suggest getting something rather better for the 'top table'.

Thanks for your help. As it is a small wedding, I think I will change the type of wine. I am paying for expensive food, don't want to be let down by the wine.
