Hi Luke, my wife & I are going to stay in Setúbal for about 6 weeks in June & July. I’m going to try out some of your Portuguese recommendations when we’re there, as we prefer to drink local wines and beers when travelling.
Hi Vernon, fantastic sounds like a top trip. I might even be out there when you are so hopefully we can meet for a glass. I’ll keep the recommendations coming!
Hi Luke, I see you’re going to the Alentejo in June. My wife & I will be in Setúbal during June to mid-July. Any chance of you passing through that area? Perhaps to visit some of the wineries around Azeitão?
Hello Kate, first of all thank you so much for subscribing. Unfortunately I don’t have much intel for French supermarkets - hopefully some of my recommendations will be the same though.
I'd love to see pictures of the bottles. I don't have any problem locating the retailer, but when inside I often can only find one of these bottles of I'm lucky... Pictures of the bottles would be great!
Interesting to see some Eastern European wines in Lidl. Recently had an excellent Pinot Noir from Romania so will certainly be giving those alternative regions a go. Cheers!
Hi. Our Tesco delivery has just arrived with your September 24 full list included - lots on 25% off at the mo. The Les Terrasses has just been uncorked for this evening!
Hi Luke. I had the Tesco Zuccardi Serie A Malbec last night. It had a sharp tannic finish; didn’t work for me. Did I get a “bad bottle” or is this just not my wine?
Hi David, sorry it wasn’t to your taste. Normally Zuccardi is pretty rounded but there can always be bottle variation etc. do you normally go for Malbec?

Hi Luke I finally got round to subscribing . Is there a list for while shopping in France at supermarkets?

Thank you for these really appreciated!
Hi Luke
Is there a way I can access previous lists? My local Sainsburys has sold out of quite a few so looking to see previous suggestions.
Many thanks

Hi Stuart,
Still working out how I am able to do this on Substack. A project for the new year!
Thanks for your feedback much appreciated.
Cheers Luke
No problem, keep up the good work I enjoy trying new wines!
Aldi ones are great - just bought the Waitrose ones for Xmas - confident they will be great although I did open the Zalze Shiraz and was underwhelmed.
Have to go to England for the multi buy discounts, but definitely have to try some
Thanks for the recommendation am going to try the Portuguese red from Sainsbury’s.

Looking forward to trying some, thankyou
Hi Luke, I always look forward each month’s drop! Will try to explore most of them, usually rarely your suggestions disappoint, keep the hard work!
Brilliant thank you Mirko. Really appreciate your comment!
Have you tried Codorniu Albarino from co op? Thought I had seen it on your list, very good for £9.50
Certainly have! I did a video on it on TikTok.
