Andy, you are confusing it with Chateau pis du chat..........Personally I think it tastes shite and tastes like it has been sieved through soil heavily laden in cat piss
Pape indeed

I bought a beautiful bottle of Rioja from lidl a couple of weeks ago for 8 quid. I don't normally like to pay more than 6 quid.

Go on Andy, name the dozen, so I can try them. Only if you have time, now you are workingI've had dozens of wines half the price or less that are better but hey ho
We were told by a wine 'buff' in France a couple of weeks ago that Cotes du Rhone 'Village' red is made from grapes that are grown next to Château neuf du Pape in the same soil, so just as good but a lot cheaper - not that I've tried it but there's always the next trip to give it a go!

Yes, I love a Rioja, don't pay more than 6 quid normally, but the Soligamar reserva 2011 from lidl is one of the best Rioja I've had.I like it but find it a bit hit and miss at those prices. You've probably got a 50 - 50 chance of it being any good.
Unless it's one that you're familiar with then to be fairly confident it's going to be OK you need to be around £18-£19.
Yes you are spot on, But I like to try them never the less.
No real need to spend more than about £6 or £7 on Rioja. Doubling that price doesn't usually mean a better wine.
That is true. I got two cases last time in France. One is in the car at this moment to be delivered to a dear friend tomorrow....... I drank the other.We were told by a wine 'buff' in France a couple of weeks ago that Cotes du Rhone 'Village' red is made from grapes that are grown next to Château neuf du Pape in the same soil, so just as good but a lot cheaper - not that I've tried it but there's always the next trip to give it a go!

Was your wine tasting course expensive?Personally I think it tastes shite and tastes like it has been sieved through soil heavily laden in cat piss
Pape indeed
When in Carrefour, Auchan, or Super-U I sometimes raise my gaze to the Chateauneuf du Pape shelf and consider buying a bottle, but every time I end up two shelves lower down picking up 4 decent Cotes du Rhones for the same price. No contest.

French supermarket wine can be surprising.
A friend of mine is convinced that she only likes expensive wine and can spot a cheap one a mile away so obviously it's my mission in life to catch her out.
The current record is one that I found for €2.39 in a Carrefour. It was unbelievably good for that price. My friend loved it

That is because you were assuming it was some brand of beer, Chris........That's what I think.
I don't know what all the fuss is about myself.
I got a crate of it in 1991 when I got married the first time. I was told I had to lay it down for x years blah, blah, blah.
I drank a bottle of it about 10 years later and it tasted like sh*t.
I got rid of the rest giving them as presents
As a little exercise the next time your in the wine aisles take a look on the back of the label and see if you can identify where the wine was bottled; more often than not the popular UK brands are bottled at either a UK or German postcode to further reduce costs and increase profit margin.

Did you drink it at the 2nd marriage ceremonyThat's what I think.
