Red wine.
I’m not overly fond of it myself but I want to get a couple of bottles for a family birthday.I’ve been told the way to find a good wine is to feel the indent under the bottle – the deeper the indent the better the wine.
Why then in Tesco’s last week were they promoting a red wine that cost £9. 95 and it had no indent at all? A cheaper wine on the shelf had a very deep indent!!
I asked the girl doing the promotion and she didn’t know. She said there was a lot of snobbery surrounding wines – cork/screw tops etc. I have noticed some quite expensive wines have screw tops nowadays.
So – how do I tell a good wine please?

Re: Red wine.
Never heard about indent feeling!There are a couple of popular wines available at every supermarket that seem to most peoples taste Im thinking Shiraz Merlot and Pinot Noir..
Aldi is not a bad place to buy from..
Having said that the only red wine I drink is the one we make ourselves!

Re: Red wine.
You can't tell a good book by its cover and similarly you can't tell a good bottle of wine by the bottle or by the price.There is only one way and that is to buy a bottle and try it....if it suits your palate then buy another one.
My advice would be buy Australian or South American or South African and avoid Spanish at all costs.
