Mid-Week
Wines

As the premium discounters make the market for conventional wine more challenging, so established retailers are experimenting with more unorthodox – and sometimes exotic – wines. Here are four of them that are particularly tasty – and reduced in price too.

A new Tesco promotion began yesterday and neatly partners a great champagne with six dependable wines to herald springtime but which all cost less than £6

Waitrose started a new promotion yesterday – and I think it has been laudably enriched with some unorthodox and enticing wine that many of you will enjoy.

Having cast my eye over two promotions that started this week – at the Co-op and Sainsbury’s – here is some well priced (and well made) champagne to help you toast the arrival of spring.

The M&S promotions that started yesterday combines well made whites at entry point prices with at least one unconventional wine that will startle and delight by turns

Here is a quartet of wines retailing around £10 – but worth rather more – and part of MidWeek Wines aim to focus on value at several price points – not just the lowest.

Over a hundred Tesco wines began a three week price reduction yesterday or this morning and here are the “must buy” components. Outside Scotland the promotion coincides with a further 25% multi buy offer that brings some of these commended wines down to a mere £4.50 a bottle.

The current Waitrose promotions contain some unusual wines – but ones even the less intrepid can buy with confidence. See which of these highlights tick boxes for you.

The dominance of the big four supermarkets tends to overshadow operations like the Co-op and that’s a crying shame. Here are a few of the highlights from its current promotions

Tesco refreshed its promotions a few days ago with its familiar cocktail of fizz, branded wines and 18-20 lines from its Finest* premium brand. They include a great value Spanish red and – to me – one of the best modestly priced Proseccos on the market.
