Banrock Station - Premium Selection 2013 - Merlot - Tesco

 
Looks like a mass produced wine with an attractive marketing push. Bought on offer - this was cheap and rich and full bodied. Similar to the Yellow Tail merlot - and one to buy again. Verdict: Go for it. 

Echo Falls - Tesco - Californian Merlot 2013

 
 
Echo Falls has a hideous label and shouts nasty. However this was very good for the price - I think less than £5 - A real eye opener and one to go for. Verdict: Buy at this price.

Frontera - Sauvignon Blanc 2013 - Chile - Tesco

 
Another Tesco cheapy - Pleasantly surprised how nice this was. Easy drinking. Verdict: Buy on offer. 

Famille Castel - Grand Reserve - Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 - France

I cant remember where I bought this one, but it was less than £6 and is a nice  French wine. Verdict: Buy at this price. 

Bordeaux 2013 - Sauvignon Blanc - Saniburys

Its in the cheapo price range I inhabit and it is not that good. Its a bit like drinking  a wine that is pretending to be Sauvignon Blanc. Overall a bit too astringent and offputting. However there are many worse. Overall: Buy if you have worse options only.
