Wine enthusiasts, rejoice! Morrisons’ Best range has been revamped, and it’s a game-changer for wine lovers on a budget. The supermarket has been working tirelessly to curate the perfect selection of wines, and it shows. The recent news about Morrisons’ stores closing has hit me hard, anyone else? Only last week I was invited to their wine tasting, where I sampled 100 of their spring/summer drinks. And let me tell you, they didn’t disappoint. More on that in a minute. Meanwhile, let me quickly catch you up on the backstory: 16 Morrisons stores have closed with immediate effect this month, and one more is due to close next month. Over the next few months, they’ll be closing 52 cafés, 18 Market Kitchens, 17 convenience stores, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies. It’s not that I do much of my shopping at Morrisons (West London isn’t exactly the supermarket’s stronghold), I couldn’t even tell you where our local branch is, if I’m completely honest, but it’s always a sad state of affairs when so many risk redundancy. On a more positive note, their wine selection is going from strength to strength. They’ve noticeably fleshed out the value side of their French wine offering at the £7 to £10 mark, which is where we like our wines to be. The retailer is also offering more premium wines in the £12 to £15 bracket and up to £20 for regions like the more spendy Châteauneuf du Pape. Their ‘Best’ range has become even better, basically allowing them to compete with the likes of Aldi’s ‘Specially Selected’ range, and I’m here for it. It’s a vehicle to discover new regions and grapes on a day-to-day basis. Here are the top 10 wines I put three stars against when I sampled them. These represent the best value for money, and I reckon we should make a beeline for them in case of any more store closures…

These wines showcase the perfect blend of quality, taste, and value. From the crisp acidity of the Cotes de Gascogne to the fruity flavors of the Vinho Verde Rosé, each wine has been carefully selected to provide an unforgettable experience for wine enthusiasts. But what makes Morrisons’ Best range truly special is its ability to cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Whether you’re a fan of dry rosés, full-bodied reds, or crisp whites, there’s something for everyone in this range. The Best range has become even better, basically allowing them to complete with the likes of Aldi’s ‘Specially Selected’ range, and I’m here for it. It’s a vehicle to discover new regions and grapes on a day-to-day basis. Speaking of the Douro, this is from high-altitude vineyards in the Douro Superior, with a citrussy flavor profile that reminds me of digging into a key lime pie. Do you have a story to share?
