Hope you purchased 6 bottles to get your 25% off! We usually hit it hard when the offers are on at Tesco. Got a few bottles of a cheeky Italian this week....very nice to.

Try not to buy too much at a time or I will

just drink it consecutive nights till it's all gone!

What kit do you use? I've made cider before, but never wine or beer...

Ca' Marrone Rosso IGT Puglia Appassimento

We pick discounted ones and then get the extra 25% off and at £5 per bottle is damn good. The other one we like is called "The Duke" and is a very smooth full bodied Spanish. Usually £8, often.discounted to £6 so £4.50 with the 25% but wasn't discounted this time.

Nice 15 & 16 good years, you might like to decant for 15-20 mins 

I'll let you tell Tescos Libourne & St Emillion are on the right bank of the Dordogne, Gironde is the region & estuary after the Dordogne meets the Garonne & a fair bit downstream from the St Emillion region. Oh well thats how I know it anyway.
