Nice bottle of Red for me. Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvingnon.
Preferably Australian (Hardys) or French.

Best reasonably priced table wine you will ever find. A simply DELICIOUS drop of red that goes down a treat with absolutely anything.
On a special occasion, or just with a few more bob to spend I would sink much of this...

Agreed. My local supermarket must have a deal with the vineyard as it's on special offer every couple of months.
On a good week I can buy TWO bottles for €4.79.

Cava is good, but so is all wine 
Some good tips on this thread!
What I've been drinking lately is suprise suprise Tescos Finest Gavi - usually between £4.99 and £6.99 a bottle and quite the nicest drop I've had in a while. I do like my whites dry and it hits the spot.
Not a huge fan of anything sweet - I like my whites dry and my reds with sweaty socks on...I'm not a snob but I know what I like...
Its a shame that there are some wine snobs out there that will insist you drink various wines with various courses, and while I agree to a certain extent - its completely up to the drinker...

My own faves:
White - Soave (the dry, not the sweet or sparkling). I also like the Seddlescombe organic white which is V good.
Red - own fave is Chateau Neuf du pape - although Seddlescombe again do a good Regent Red. The 2003 was excellent. carr taylors has been a bit poor lately
Sparkly - Prosecco, Nyetimber is good, but Veuve Clicquot is always a good un.
I also like a nice Rose but often get abused for it

rioja is one of my favourites but must be a reserve.
when looking at them, look at the little colour label boxes on the back.
you go from green to burgundy to ox-blood type colour.
have a look at the faustino range and you'll see

Generally French for Red and Italy for white.
As I plan to retire to France I guess I will end up a Red wine drinker

You speak of some nice wines my friend, especially the latter, but I would recommend drinking rather than brinking them in future.

Does a nice Pinot Grigio exist? Horribly, horribly over-rated. Blue Nun for the 21st Century.B.M.F said:

Thats the wonder of wine. Its all down to opinions. What you think is crap is another persons favourite and vice versa. I tried what was appareantly one of the best white wines in the world at a tasting course I went on once. I thought it was bloody horrible - its all about opinions.

Try Grapes in Worthing, South of Montague Street and near the entrance to the Marks & Spencer Car Park.
He does an excellent "House Claret" Chateau Reynier, for about £6 a bottle, which we will be having for Christmas (won't be wasting the 1999 Chateau Musar on the folks) also sells a cracking Amarone, one for the connoisseur.
Plus he has a selection of nice deli products, mostly local, plus a few Italian and French items.
