Excellent wine doesn't have to be expensive!

Much loved TV-wine expert Helen McGinn brings you the ultimate guide to choosing the best bottle of wine at your local supermarket.

Celebrating the breadth and quality of wines stocked on our high street, this money-saving selection covers recommendations for every major supermarket, with over 180 bottles divided into seven key chapters - red, white, rose, sparkling, orange, sweet & fortified and non-alcoholic.

With an introduction covering top tips for choosing the best bottle every time, decoding wine labels, and a beginner's guide to grape varieties, Helen's recommendations come with:

Notes on its flavour and what makes it excellent

What food it pairs best with

Occasions it's best suited for

Price bracket (never higher than GBP20 apart from sparkling)

So, no matter your budget, this wine-lovers guide will help you find your new favourite bottle in all of the following: Asda, Aldi, Co-op, Lidl, M&S, Majestic, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose
