Decent red wine for a tenner? (better than Barossa Ink)
Discussion
I love a bottle of Barossa Ink, very fruity, smooth and very drinkable. Hangover free too.
I'm struggling to find anything better for around a tenner a bottle.
Any suggestions for a good quaffing wine?
I like full bodied, fruity wines with little tannins.
Already tried Carnivor Zinfandel, Apothic (yeah, its super sweet) and Dark Horse Cab. Sauv.
Cheers!

Delightfully blackberryish, 14% ABV, light on the tannin. What's not to like.

+1 for Barossa Ink (especially at £7.50 when Tesco have 25% off six), also +1 for Porta 6 but not as good as Barossa - but that’s just me, the best wines are the ones that YOU like
Yep, gets expensive working my way through the tesco top shelf and being disappointed, bottle after bottle, once you've had 'Ink'! I even converted an Aussie to it...And the 25% off means loading up the trolley with 12 bottles, every time!

I like - Bread & Butter Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, California - I paid £10 a bottle last time but it seems a bit higher at the moment.
The Porto6 is a good choice as well.
Velvet Devil - again around £14 a bottle in a lot of places but often a lot cheaper in Costco.
Thanks, some more to add to my tasting session!The Porto6 is a good choice as well.

The Porta6 is great stuff…the LB7 that majestic do is also a good Portuguese red

You can’t beat this one from Aldi for value for money though

But if you are in majestic for a little bit more though I would say go for this at £13.99

Finca Las Moras Malbec from the Co-op, around the £7 mark.
