Hey Luke. Any chance you could incorporate Tesco into this as well? I know you’ve done a few recommendations from Tesco in the past - bought a couple of reds you recommended that were delicious - but I haven’t seen any on this monthly newsletter from Tesco in the time I’ve been a subscriber. Thanks:)

Trying the lidl recommendation tonight ..but Luke..we dont all live in the UK ! Lidl , Aldi & Tesco's recommendations are pretty sparse (all in UK but all in Ireland too). Ive mentioned this before.

This is what drives subscribers away...which Im not keen to do.

Hi Colm, thank you for your feedback. This list takes a long time for me to compose. I'm not sure how I could currently make it an international list but I'm working on it. If you have any ideas please let me know. Cheers Luke

I understand that the bulk of your subscibers are presumeably UK based and that's great. Im wondering if you could broaden your landscape to include the Lidls, Aldis & Tescos of this world as all have a physical presence in Ireland also. Majestic & Sainsburys for example do not and so recommendations are meaningless. In any event am currently enjoying your 1 lidl recommendation!! And very good it is too😁

Ok yes, I’ve been checking out Tesco a lot recently and I have been uninspired by their range. Since Aldi have reduced their online service it has been difficult to recommend products online. Lidl haven’t had much to shout about as well recently. Hopefully this will all change. It’s a good point though because my audience certainly isn’t confined to the UK so I will need to develop this. Glad to hear you’re enjoying tonight’s wine! 🍷

That M&S Weissburgunder is one of my favourite white wines. Far too quaffable! Definitely a few on this list I need to try!

Well, didn’t get anything from this list but found the Chardonnay/Gruner Veltliner blend you were discussing a week or so ago in Aldi. Should be interesting!
