As Britain's biggest supermarket, Tesco has a responsibility to it's customers to deliver quality. There was a time when their wine range didn't come anywhere close to giving this. So Tesco recruited Bibendum's Dan Jago, he got rid of the rows of cheap Aussie chardonnays and started injecting depth in the range. With over three hundred new wines, Jago certainly has had an effect on the supermarket's range, but has he done anything about quality?Rather than give my own opinions, every month, I’m going to randomly choose a wine that costs less than a tenner and ask you to go off and buy a bottle, try it and vote to tell us if you like it or not. I'll post the results of the poll with my view on the wine, and we can all determine if Tesco is giving it's customers good wines, or if they are still stacking 'em high and selling 'em cheap.
First up is Tesco's Finest Sonoma County Chardonnay, 2006. Rather than start with a very cheap wine, I thought I'd give Tesco a chance to show a wine from the upper limits of the ten pounds budget. Priced at £7.99, this should at least be able to deliver a decent drink
