Don't know much about wine but on the odd occasion I do buy a bottle, I usually get a nice full bodied red Cabernet Sauvignon.

Lidl cote du rhone is a bargain in France at around 1.40 a bottle (used to be 1.20). The same bottle in the U.K is around the 4/5 pound mark. Stock up if you're on holiday!
