Weekend wine with Blake Creedon

Today I’m looking at a wine sale in Tesco, but I have to begin with a reminder that can’t be repeated often enough.

Whether it’s shoes or sauv blanc on your shopping list, don’t judge value for money by the extent of the ‘cut’.

Put it out of your mind and ask instead if what you’re buying is a fair price, let alone a bargain. Detecting value is an inexact science to say the least. Can anyone show us what €1 worth of sensory pleasure looks like?
