...picked up a bottle of Tesco Australian White wine the other day whilst shopping for a few bits and pieces. A standard 75cl bottle was £2.99 with a further 20% off at the till on this occasion making it cost a total of about £2.40 – maybe that should have been a warning?! There is cheap wine and then there is CHEAP wine!
