If paying one or two euros for a bottle they are not worth discussing...just buy any

Listen, I like a Protos Crianza or Reserva with the best of 'em, but I can assure you there are at least a few stunning incredibly cheap bottles to be had. I wouldn't have mentioned the 1.29 Car4 stuff if my rather well-used palate hadn't thought it half decent. As to Lidl cartons, I buy it for cooking (yes, I know you're supposed to use good stuff for cooking too...) and it's true, its qualities when taking a crafty swig in the kitchen improve in proportion to how much of something else you've had first!

Youll have to give me their number. I get sick of going down to the local co-op to restock every couple of days........they probably thinking we're a bunch of plonkies by now.
Now 3000 gallons a time is more like,....could last me and 'er indoors for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.

Three days on the trot - Car4's Dominio de la Fuente bogstandard tempranillo (1.29), crianza (more) & reserva (more but not more than 3euros - I'm a cheapskate unashamedly)....... the 1.29 is the best of the bunch! Yahoo!!!!! oh, not a bottle EACH time (yet)....

Will try more recommendations and reward myself, for my efforts, by taking a crate back for Christmas.

If you are dining with the Spanish or celebrating, a bottle of ´Lan´ (red with red lable) or ´Coto´ (red) will always go down well. It is not 1.99 but more like 4.80 (Coto) to 6 euros + for Lan.
Most rose´s from Navarra are good and a reliable white is ´Marina Alta´(needs to be very cold) also popular with the Spanish.
Only use Liria on the Spanish if you don´t want them to return.
