Is it any good?
Vivino's drinkers give it 4.2 out of 5 from 87,535 ratings (see it on Vivino). Most supermarket wine lands between 3.4 and 4.0, and 3.8 or more is a good sign at any price. Shoppers who reviewed it on the supermarkets' own sites average 4.3 from 62 reviews, but shop reviews run high for almost every wine.

How much of the price is duty?
