Supermarket wine was once frowned upon and held in similar regard to ‘cooking wine’, but that mindset has gradually changed with the introduction of quality bottle selection at most grocery stores. Nowadays, there are plenty of great wines you can pick up while doing your weekly shop (shout out to the viral ‘chicken wine‘), that also clock in at a very reasonable price point.

Here, we round up the best supermarket vinos to try and love, featuring recommendations from our editors and resident foodies. From rosé and red to champagne and chardonnay, scroll on to see their top picks, plus, where to shop each one.

Best supermarket wines

“This summer I have been loving M&S’s new Cloudy Rosé, Trouble. It’s really fresh, it’s peachy, and it pairs amazingly with a summer picky bits spread. No notes.” – Amelia, Culture & Lifestyle Writer/Creator
“When looking for a cheap white, nothing beats Picpoul for me and nearly every grocery has an affordable one in stock. Chuck a couple ice cubes in (gasp!) and it’s a gorgeous summer wine” – Mallory, Junior Food & Drink Editor
“Great price point, around the £8 mark and normally on offer (making it taste even better). Very drinkable and my go-to bottle of red, especially during the winter.” – Harriet, Head Of Partnerships
“I have an undying and almost exclusive love for very dry white wine, and as such tend to avoid rosé because it’s so often cloyingly sweet. amie is a different beast; it has that crisp, bone-dry acidity you’d expect from a good Sauvignon Blanc, making it perfect for a hot day. It also helps that the chicly minimalist bottle looks great, so you can feel good about bringing it to a dinner party.” – Flora, Senior Brand Partnerships Executive
“When I originally pitched this story, it was off the back of the Bread & Butter Chardonnay (a must-try for fans of oaky chardonnay). But, since then, I’ve actually found another supermarket wine I like even more – this affordable bottle of bubbles tastes every bit as good as some of my favourite champagnes.” – Natasha, Digital Editor
“I’m a New Zealand Sav girl through and through, my go to supermarket pick of choice is Oyster Bay. Its super crisp and I like it with two cubes of ice, no more no less.” – Elle, Senior Venue Partnerships Manager
“Love this depth of taste, warming, notes of dark chocolate, blackberries and spices. It’s £24 a bottle so not the cheapest but well worth it for special occasions.” – Elly, Founder & CEO
“I love it as it’s very drinkable, light , crisp and refreshing. The finish is clean making it ideal for warm summers days.” – Elly, Founder & CEO
“This is a safe cheap option which is nice and crisp and flavourful but not too heavy. Plus, you can find it everywhere including supermarkets and cornershops.” – Imogen, Graphic Designer
