Is it any good?
Vivino's drinkers give it 3.3 out of 5 from 17,497 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 4.5 from 152 reviews, but shop reviews run high for almost every wine.

How much of the price is duty?
At 13.5%, a 75cl bottle carries £3.10 of alcohol duty, plus VAT on top. Duty rises on 1 February 2027 to £3.24 a bottle, so expect the shelf price to creep up by about 17p.
