IF you like a smooth, rich, full-bodied red then this week’s top tip is the new Apothic Red from E&J Gallo.
Bursting with bramble fruit and balanced by mellowing vanilla and even hints of chocolate, it hits all the right notes for a special occasion and is guaranteed to warm your cockles on a cold winter’s evening.
Price £9.99 available at most supermarkets.
The Co-op has also entered the luxury arena with a new range of premium Truly Irresistible wines, priced from £8.49 to £9.99 including a Viognier Pays d’Oc 2012, France (£8.99,).
Along with other trendy grapes such as a godello from Galicia, Truly Irresistible Godello 2012, Spain (£8.49), and wines from up-and-coming regions such as a Chilean pinot noir, there is The Co-operative Truly Irresistible Casablanca Pinot Noir 2012, Chile (£8.99, The Co-operative).
