I'm not a massive wine drinker, but I do like the occasional glass of red.

The mother-in-law bought out a lovely bottle of red at Christmas, which I've been trying to find since. turns out it's over £100 a bottle and therefore well out of my budget.

It was a Gevrey Chambertin 2003, the closest to which I can find is Gevrey Chambertin, Labouré-roi 2006 at £16.50 a bottle. Not a bad price for a special occassion but a bit too expensive for a daily drink.

Any suggestions for a similar wine at less than £10 a bottle?

You'll struggle to get any decent Burgundy for under a tenner & your taste buds have now been spoilt so very few Pinots will give the same pleasure

This might be worth a try to get about 10 % of the experience

Or maybe Tesco Finest HCN

Thanks Johnny, will give that a try!

Otherwise, it looks like I'll be sticking to the occasional bottle of the more expensive stuff.
