Wine Reviews

Independent wine reviews and comparisons, including celebrity wines, supermarket alternatives and value-for-money recommendations.

I wanted to see how Chapel Down really stacks up against Champagne, so I opened a bottle and gave it a proper try. For around £30, it has a lot to prove, but English sparkling wine has come a very long way.
La Vieille Ferme Rosé has become one of the UK’s most recognisable bottles, although most people simply call it chicken wine. Jonny explains why it became so popular, what it tastes like and whether it really deserves the hype.
Jonny finally puts Whispering Angel to the test, explaining why it became so famous, what it tastes like and whether he thinks it's worth paying for.
Jonny finally tries The Chocolate Block to find out whether South Africa's famous red wine is genuinely worth buying.
Whispering Angel is lovely. But is it £20 lovely? We tasted the Whispering Angel alternatives from Lidl and Aldi so you don't have to. Same grapes, same region, half the price.
Which celebrity wine is best? We take a look at three celebrity wines and give our verdict on each one.
