Xmas Dinner Wine Choice

[rowanwitch]

We are having Grande Alberone Zinfandel (15%) from the Puglia region of Italy. In Italy the Grape is known as Primitivo. The Zinfandel we usually come across is from California.
I think we paid £7.99 for it, but unfortunately it's now out of stock.

Thanks for recommendation Sqad, Red sends his regards... but if I want to give him a treat wine would not be included, well...... maybe later

ok, just trying to help, i bought a primitivo from sainsburys on a recommendation of someone on here.

[rowanwitch]

Ratter, we have some bottles of real ale from our friend who owns Ad Hop brewery in Liverpool, including a Christmas Pudding Imperial Stout

[rowanwitch]

Emmie, lots of good Primitivo and Zinfandels, we use Aldi and Lidl because they get some really brilliant wines at silly prices but I will look out for the Sainsbury one especially if it comes with good reviews

[emmie]

rowan
i think it might have been NoMercy who recommended the Primitivo, but i bought some Wolf Blass Yellow Label, Cabernet Sauvignon from sainsburys and it was about 8 quid a bottle and very nice it was too.

[emmie]

from NoMercy recommendation

Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Primitivo is less than £7 per bottle usually and it's one I've had a good few times. I can highly recommend it.

my hubby likes a bottle or two of chateau nerf du pap good value in lidls

[mallyh]

oh yes and me a prosecco or three xx

[NoMercy]

Rowan, Lidl do a fabulous Amarone for £9.99.

The Grand Alberone you mention is nice, as is the Carnivor Zin from Sainsburys.

My choice out of those 3 would be the Carnivor Zin.

Hope you're both well. x
