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.
“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, Venues 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’m a big fan of 19 Crimes, especially their Chardonnay. If you’re into rich, buttery Chardonnays like I am, this one truly delivers, but with a slightly sweeter touch that makes it incredibly smooth and easy to drink.” – Sydney, Social Media Manager
“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 picked this one randomly because I’d ordered Thai food and just wanted something light and refreshing to pair with it and this one really hit the spot. It’s a bit sweet which I personally love and it was perfect with my slightly spicy Thai curry!” – Andrea, Food, Culture & Lifestyle Writer
“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, Junior Graphics Designer
