Cool label, low price and it’s just delicious. I went back to Lidl to buy more.

Supermarket wines: Tesco Finest “Ebeira” Ribera Del Duero 2022
You get what you expect. I’m sure there are more transparent wines made in Ribera Del Duero these days. Continue reading
Aged supermarket wine with a twist: Séguret Les Aumoniers 2018 from Lidl
After my recent rant on the ageability of Southern Rhone reds, this came as a reminder that I was probably too harsh. Here we have a humble supermarket villages wine – a so called “named” village, Seguret – which I bought many years ago for 6 Euros and which was hardly made to age this long (it’s over 6 years old now). Yet this is not declining at all, to my biggest surprise. I think it’s even better than after release!
Supermarket wines: the dirt cheap yet nice Eje Monastrell 2022 from Lidl
I haven’t seen this wine in the local Lidl since the 2017 vintage in 2019, but the current 2022 appeared on the shelves recently and I grabbed a few bottles. Thankfully it’s still well-made, over-delivering for its pricepoint and absolutely enjoyable. Continue reading
Supermarket wines: Gran Bajoz, Toro Vinas Viejas 2021 from Lidl
Made by Pagos del Rey, this is a bold red that might appeal to many. Not my preferred style, but I enjoyed a few glasses.

Supermarket wines: Lidl Trebbiano D’Abruzzo 2023
Supermarket wines: Lidls Deluxe Reserva Privada Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Supermarket wines: Hacienda Uvanis Garnacha Old Vines Navarra 2022 from Lidl
Solid garnacha from Lidl. Old vine material for €4? It rather tastes like just cheap, €4 red wine, but a very good one.
Supermarket wines: Eszterbauer Sógor Kadarka 2023
The Sógor kadarka is back on form! The 2023 is as good as the best vintage I have tasted yet, the 2019. It’s good news, regarding that the 2022 was a disappointment. It’s a bit early but so far it seems that 2023 yielded the most charming and delicious Hungarian wines in recent years. Even though it was a disaster for most wine producers…
