If you can find a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc for that money then go for that.
Marlborough region stuff is excellent, could be closer to £6-£7 though.

Blossom Hill. Not sure I would stretch to "nice" but I can drink it ok and it is cheap.

You can get a decent drinkable Red over here for Euro 5-

Rip off UK

You can get a nice bottle of white (lightning) for under a fiver. Sounds like that will be right up your street.

Our local off licence do 3 for 2 on all wine, so you can get 3 good bottles for £15

That is why they are tramps, they don't know a good deal when they see one.

ANyone else find most New World Sauvignon Blancs too flowery/perfumey and long? I want citrus and austerity .. less is more ... etc ... hic

black tower is ok, about £4.30 i think. Easy to drink and doesnt taste too much like wee.

The Reisling is good, too - the Mrs is motoring through it at the minute.

McGuigans Black Label GT Reisling should come in at around £5!

Another vote for the Villa Maria whites.

There's another one from NZ called Montana which is also very good.

Tesco's Finest, (or is it Own-Brand) Chillean range is utterly superb for the moeny.

The Sauvignon Blanc is about Euro 5.99 over here so should only be a few quid in the UK

Way better than Blossom Hill :hurl;
