Cheap wine 'beats pricier bottles' in blind taste test

A scientific experiment held at the Edinburgh Science Festival recently saw 50% of testers unable to pick the expensive wine from the cheaper plonk!

This story is all over the news at the moment. I have found the full story at the BBC website if you wish to read it, but it basically puts emphasis on what I am trying to do with this site: Prove that there are good tasting wines out there that will not break the bank!

All of the supermarkets constantly stock wines on offer, as do the likes of Majestic and other wine merchants. Whether or not you believe that they should ever be full price is perhaps open to another debate, but without doubt there are some good drinkable wines to be had. That is what I am trying to do. Point you in the direction of some good tasting cheap wines. However, I also want feedback from other wine drinkers that may have found something. I am afterall only one man, and there is a limit to how much wine I can drink!
