I bought 3 bottles of La Falda Blanca white wine in Morrisons. As far as I know the only place to sell it. £4.25 a bottle. The wine is noticeably darker than a previously one I’ve bought, and sweeter. I know you’ll probably say what do you expect from paying peanuts. But shouldn’t it be of a consistent quality.

Wines do occasionally vary depending on what kind of a harvest they come from.
This is typical of wine - grapes from the same vine will vary from crop to crop, which is why the best harvests become vintage wine.
oh christ why did you buy white wine when you know I like red? and expensive one such as Crozes Hermitage - yeah call it "crow's zermy targe" if you want but get some.....

sorry I thought I read .... 'whine'
But, on a more negative note, perhaps the bottle that's darker than your previous one is oxidised - due to a poor cork or seal. Are all three bottles the same darker colour?

It's quite normal Bob, nothing to worry about.

But shouldn’t they blend it ( cheap wines are blended unlike more expensive that are from one grape variety). so it’s a dry rather than a semi sweet. I don’t like sweet wines.
Depends upon what the wine producers think of their cru.
if it's gone from dry to sweet, that sounds like more than just natural variation.
It is also sold at Aldi.
Take them all back for a refund.
If you check the bottles illustrated here you will different shades of the wine.https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en-GB&authuser=0&ei=oz4WXK2OMtaP1fAPuNCk0AQ&q=la+falda+blanca+wine+&oq=la+falda+blanca+wine+&gs_l=psy

Not in my local Aldi danny.
Aldi don't sell it, bob, that is why there is no price listed on that link.
It is a Morrison's only wine :)
La Falda Blanca is just a 'Trademark' name owned by Morrisons. It is NOT the name of a specific vintage, area or type of wine. So there will be differences between bottles bought at different times.
