Product Description

Synopsis

This book specialises in supermarket wines for one very good reason: there's a new reality in the retail wines market - the supermarkets have won the high street.The top wine buyers are now in the supermarkets, so that's where the most characterful wines are on offer: Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Majestic, Morrisons and the other major players. The whole world knows that these tasting teams buy the pick of the world's vintages. And now they are positioning their ranges further up-market. They are offering a broad range of superb, characterful wines. Our purpose here is to help readers find the best of these improving ranges.


From the Publisher

Ned Halley's annual update of his handy pocket-sized guide to
the best wines in the supermarkets. His thorough research means that you
should be able to find the best wines locally - he covers Aldi, Asda,
Booths, Co-op, Majestic, Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, J Sainsbury,
Somerfield, Tesco and Waitrose. His choices are helpfully sorted into not
only supermarkets, but also colour, country of origin and price, ensuring
you can find exactly what you're looking for. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars A reasonable try, 2 Oct 2008
By Marmorus (Cheshire) - See all my reviews
This is an inexpensive, easy-to-use guide which can help you sort the bargains from the mass-market trash. It can also give you more confidence to try unfamiliar grapes and wine styles. However, his scoring system reflects value for money rather than outright quality, and in 2008 I found many of his high-scoring recommendations rather idiosyncratic compared to 2007. His coverage of different supermarket chains seems dependent on what they offer him to sample. Most disappointingly, if you buy this book for Christmas and look for his main 2009 recommendations in January 2009, they may already have sold out, leaving you with the (usually disappointing) option of a more recent vintage.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!!!!, 23 Aug 2008
By Rhodri O. Smith - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Best Wines in the Supermarkets: My Top Wines Selected for Character and Style (Paperback)
I paid £2.50 for this book and I wasted it!
The author must be getting commission from the Supermarkets for recommending their wines. I cannot believe that he rates so many of these wines as 9 out of 10. I have tried some of them and I'm no wine expert but they were like vinegar!
The author clearly does not know good wine at all.
I have put this book out for recycling!

3.0 out of 5 stars VINO, 8 Jan 2008
By Dk Roche "orangehens" (Rugby) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Best Wines in the Supermarkets: My Top Wines Selected for Character and Style (Paperback)
Easy guide to use but regretably recomendations did not hit the mark.
Very limited choice from Supermarkets such as Tesco as he does not have a strong link.
