This book specialises in supermarket wines for one very good reason: there’s a new reality in the retail wines market - the supermarkets have won the high street. The top wine buyers are now in the supermarkets, so that’s where the most characterful wines are on offer: Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Majestic, Morrisons and the other major players. The whole world knows that these tasting teams buy the pick of the world’s vintages. And now they are positioning their ranges further up-market. They are offering a broad range of superb, characterful wines. Our purpose here is to help readers find the best of these improving ranges.
