Half a palate stacked right by the counter, dozens more bottles tumbling from logo plastered boxes in the window – you can’t fail to notice the mammoth promotion of Oddbins new own-label wines.
Two wines in the range, both retailing for £3.99 – the red is well, red, while the white is described as being “made from a blend of grapes grown in the Languedoc-Roussilon area” Read Colombard, Grenache Blanc, Viognier maybe a touch of Chardonnay or Suavignon…
The white is dry, crisp, gently fruity, highish acidity and perfectly drinkable. Hay, it is £3.99 and perfectly OK for being so. Alcohol 12%. Screw-capped. “Trust Oddbins to produce a light, refreshing, great value drinking wine” Not sure what else you are supposed to do with it apart from drink but there you go…
The red is less exciting, rather dull really…
