Can you buy a decent bottle of wine for €10 in Aldi, Dunnes or Tesco?

I need a bottle of white wine for later in the week and I am wondering if I can buy a decent bottle of white for around €10 although I will spend more if I necessary.

I shop in Aldi and Dunnes so if I can pick something up there that you suggest that would be great. If relevant the wine will be drank with spaghetti bolognese which I have heard should be served with red but my guest only drinks white.

Well I only drink white too - prefer a sauvignon blanc from Chile or New Zealand however San Valentin is nice (think its Spanish) and its in dunnes for 9 euro ish

Not on your list of stores but a possible alternative

Lidl have pretty decent stuff for under €6. They also sell Chablis at a very good price too.

unless they are big into their wine, you should be ok with €10 according to this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13072745
bit of a misleading title though.

Best think you could do - go to a good wine shop with your tenner and ask what they recommend, you will get good advice and the good places source their wines carefully. Where do you live - recommendations for a good wine shop will be worth more in the long run!

TRAMOYA in Dunnes, around €8 was a wine of the year some time ago.

Not available in a lot of Dunnes, I think it's been delisted. Any store that has it probably just has old stock that they can't sell left over

the value you will be getting for your tenner will be multiplied by 2 at least, and no one will have a headache the next day

Jacobs creek riesling is nice, probably the best cheap riesling I've found. usually around 8.99 or 9.99.

If you're getting red you've a lot more choice.

The Torres Vina Sol is great when you have it really cold. I drink this when I;m buying cheap wine in spain, it's about 4 euro a bottle there.

Yeah I love it ! Go into a cafe in Barcelona for lunch and ask for a glass of wine and you get a half bottle of this .Magic !

Must stock up then. A great Reuda for that price.

Anything by Laurent Miquel in Dunnes is pretty good.

The Mineralstein Riesling in M&S is top notch, and u can get a good Viognier there too for 7 quid.
