Wine with Leslie: €10 bargain wines from all regions
You can pick up bargain wines at Supervalu, Dunnes Stores, Aldi and Lidl.
My favourite time of year to holiday in France has always been early September, just as the grapes are ripening and the roads are a little quieter. A bonus of September in France is the tradition of the ‘Foire Aux Vins’ held by all the major supermarkets where you can pick up bargain wines from all regions but especially from Bordeaux and Burgundy.
SuperValu (and SuperQuinn before them) have long honoured this tradition. Even as prices for fine French wines have gone up and up, wine buyer, Kevin O’Callaghan, seems to be adept at finding at least a few good wines to sell at bargain prices.
