In today’s video, I will give you the six best tips, which wines to avoid at the supermarket.
I went to the five of the largest supermarkets in Ireland, including Aldi, Lidl, SuperValue, Dunnes Stores, and Tesco, to do my research, and here are the results of my investigation.
Tip no.6 – Check where the wine was bottled as a lot of supermarket wines are bottled outside the place where it was produced. Tip no.5 – avoid the large names on the front label as in most cases this type of wines are the lowest in quality, the most important is the name of the producer rather than the name of the region or appellation. Tip no.4 – Avoid the cheapest bottles on supermarket shelves as the majority of them are barely drinkable. Tip no. 3 – Try to avoid wines that scored below 85 points if you really want to enjoy the wine that you are about to purchase. Top no.2 – Avoid the wines with front labels such as rich and fruity or soft and fruity. Tip no.1 – Always check the vintage of the wine on the label because the vintage is the year of the harvest. If there is no vintage on the label, you don’t know how old or how young is that particular wine, also you don’t know if that wine was produced in a good or bad year and finally in most cases non-vintage wines on the supermarket shelves are the cheapest , which indicates the quality of the wine. Please note that some quality wine, especially Port, Sherry and some sparkling wines, have no vintage on the label. Speaking of supermarket wines, I’m not a big fan of Blossom Hill, Barefoot or Yellow Tail wines.
