Hi , new to Spanish wine having been in France for 11 yrs. can anyone recommend a nice cheap wine ( you can get them) for around 3 euros . There's so much choice in the supermarkets it's like being in a candy store. I know everyone's pallet is different and this is probably not such an easy question but any recommends appreciated to get me going
Thanks

Hi, it does depend on whether you drink red,white or rose, not a problem if you drink all of them! My father in law found this red wine in our Spanish supermarket for €1.45 and we weren't expecting much but it's a fab little wine, a bit too easy to drink!

Hi, thanks for the replies . Found this red in Dial Prix ,which has a sticker that indicates it's the best selling wine in Spain. It cost 1.69 euros and it's very nice.

Since we moved to Spain, I've found that my wine intake has reduced a lot. I was used to drinking mainly Australian, New Zealand and South African wines. I've found that here the vast majority of the reds are indifferent, and the whites are mainly poor and lacking in flavour. It also annoys me a bit that you usually have to look at the label on the back of the bottle to find out what the grape is.
Spain do some nice Shiraz if you can find it. If you want other reds, then I'd go for the ones that have been of a good enough vintage for ageing rather than needing drinking whilst still young. Crianza, reserva, or gran reservas usually have more flavour than cheap young wines.
If you want a cheap wine, go along to a bodega and see if they have sangre de toro (bull's blood). That usually has enough flavour to satisfy, but if you wear dentures you may find that they get stained.
Enjoy finding out!
