I don't usually wine ... but

Advantages: great taste, great price
Disadvantages: see below

Contrary to popular belief, I do not just chuck as much beer (in as short a period) as possible down my throat. Well, not every night!

I do like a change from the usual on a regular-ish basis. It was with this in mind, and the vague prospect of an opinion resulting from the experience, that I set out on an expedition into the unknown … Supermarket’s own brand wines.

When I say I, I meant my mother and myself. Her mission ...
...sample and write about it. The it in question being Sainsbury’s Spanish Sweet White Wine.

This product weighs in at £2.99 for a 75cl bottle, which according to the label serve six glasses at an alcohol content of 10% by volume (1.3 alcohol units per 125ml glass), and you can instantly tell that this wine is no lightweight.

The wine is “a blend of traditional Spanish grape varieties in the La Mancha region, which lies ... more

Spanish wine that's Rioja isn't it.

Advantages: Price, Good value
Disadvantages: Sweetness for some

...from. What’s it like? Sainsbury's Spanish Sweet White is just as it says, sweet and they rate it 7 on their chart, which I agree with but personally I find it a little too sweet for my tastes. The alcohol content is stated as 10% which these days is not strong with full bodied ball busters coming out at 14-15% which means you can drink this wine, well maybe a bottle easily, without falling over too many times. This is a blend of Spanish grapes ...
...of the La Mancha region. The wine is a rich sweet honeyed flavour and has quite a pleasant taste, no sharpness here. I would drink this wine, maybe serve to outdoor guests in summer, but its not one for dinner parties where you are out to impress. This is not one to keep in your cellar for long indeed Sainsbury’s recommended the wine is consumed within 6 months of purchase. Spanish white wines are considered especially good with fish dishes, ...

Sparky wants to get fruity

Advantages: Lovely fruity taste, very strong
Disadvantages: if taken in moderation none

. I couldn’t make it to Sainsbury’s for my usual tipple, so I asked my sister if she would get me a bottle of Spanish Sweet White Wine from our local Asda. The chap at the wines and spirits counter recommended Asda’s own ‘Moscatel De Valencia Denominacion De Origen’ at £3.27 for a 75cl bottle. The man deserves a bonus! It is described on the label as “A distinctively smooth and lusciously honeyed sweet white wine with a very attractive full fruit character.” Not half, as Alan Freeman (Fluff to us oldies) used to say. The wine comes in a clear white bottle with a screw cap. This may come in handy as you may not want to drink the full bottle at one sitting; it is 15% ABV (alcohol by volume) and is 1.9 units of alcohol for a standard 125ml glass. Taste wise this has to be the sweetest ...
