I found the Block Series on heavy reduction at Morrisons.
The Vacqueyras, Viñedo en Badarán Rioja white and Manzanos Graciano Rioja particularly good at the past press tastings:

Found these two as part of an offer for 3 for £18, so only £6
Both were picks from the recent Asda press tasting:

My Borsa Vini Italiani tasting picks represent some interesting opportunities for UK importers, and given how much I simply could not get to, I’m sure there were many more excellent wines in the room:

Wine buying is partly about identity management, not just flavour or value for money:

Non-alcoholic Aperitivo and Spritz - All three have a welcome touch of bitterness and none veer into being overly sweet:

Silbador Carménère is a very flavoursome wine and a fine example of what Carménère can deliver. Given the price of £8.75 it’s outstanding value. I’ve already gone back for more:

No.1 Grüner Veltliner is part of the Waitrose No.1 range, which somehow manages to contain more than its fair share of genuinely impressive wines:
