I normally prefer a red wine, but am partial to a nice chilled Chablis or Pinot Grigio. For years I struggled buying wine and ending up buying cheapish French wine that really wasn't very nice. Somehow, somewhere along the line, I set a guideline for my wine buying in that for everyday drinking I would not pay more than �5 a bottle, however I tend to only buy wine that is on special offer and that is now �5 so getting a better wine, this has worked and I haven't yet had a nasty wine. In fact I recently had a very nice Rioja and when I went back to get some more, I realised that it should have been �10 a bottle and that was why it was so nice. As I shop at the same supermarket each week, I can see that the price is genuinely half of their normal price, so don't feel I am being ripped off. I also tend to steer clear of French wines now, possibly as a result of having so many poor wines in the past. I also tend to stick to Merlot, Rioja, Tempranillo or Valpolicella as I I find some red wines give me very bad headaches because of the tannins.
