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...over 70% of UK wine is bought in them. The top wine buyers all now buy for: 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. Now they are positioning their ranges further up-market, by offering a broad range of superb, characterful wines. Ned Halley tasted over 2000 of these wines and has selected the very best for you, based on character and style.

Reviews for The Best Wines in the Supermarket 2016: P Dening, Amazon. This is fifth time I have bought this little masterpiece. The wines are obviously different from year-to-year, but it amazes me how the author manages to make the comments and terminology interesting every time too -- always more insights. Faced with rows of wines in the supermarkets coming from the same region, or the same grape, at plus or minus the same price -- how is an ordinary wine drinker to know the difference? This really is a guidebook, taking you up paths you would never have thought to venture unaccompanied. Superb. Martina Boyle, Amazon. Great guide at a great price. Essential to get the best value for money when buying wines and this little pocket rocket has saved me a lot of money this Christmas when buying value for money wines. Am on my second glass of a recommended red from Sainsbury's. Oh my God, it's so beautiful...
