Hi foody fans!

Can anyone help me identify a lovely wine I drank in the pub..........it was a white one with a gorgeous buttery taste, it may have been a Jacob's Creek but not sure....have been trying to find it since to no avail.......anyone know what it may be?

Also, where you could buy a reasonably priced bottle??

Thanks a million

Well, I no longer live in Ireland but Jacob's Creek is reasonably priced. Pretty sure when I was last home I saw it for 5 euro, that was at Christmas. I find that it does have a "buttery" taste also. You could buy Jacob's Creek at any off-licence, I'm guessing it must be one of the most mass-produced wines in the world.

Sounds like a Jacobs Creek Chardonnay alright. Most offo's will do them, roughly around ~8 euro or so. Try and avoid the 'Eaglehawk Chardonnay' though, it's gank.

Yep, meant to say Chardonnay in my post too, was just logging back in to edit that.

Great, thanks for the information!

Chardonnay may be the one so, just need to sample a bottle to find out!

I was amazed to see Gallo has nearly 20% brand scoring. This is not market share but a complicated scoring of brand success, brand awareness plus market share.
