Sainsbury's House Claret

This is a non-vintage budget claret from Sainsbury's. I will eventually work my way through this range, as I'm curious to see if any of them would make a good everyday wine.

It's dirt-cheap and to be frank it tastes dirt-cheap. I wasn't expecting a world-beater, but I'm not sure it even tastes like a claret. It could be any number of things. It's drinkable, but have it with food and stick to the one bottle.

  1. Does the taste come from added sodium metabisulphate? that's what the taste reminds me of - not that i ever tasted it per se...but through using it as a disinfectant while home brewing. it hit my taste buds, in guess.

  2. Possibly ok with a doner lathered in chilli sauce otherwise it's a no no for me. Yuck on its own.
