Red Wines

Current price range for M&S red wines is from £5.75 up to £30.00
I generally recommend £8-£9 wines, although a full bodied treat may cost £10-£12

Chilling Red Wines:
(A) Light Bodied wines can be lightly chilled - up to 1 hour.
(B) Medium bodied wines can be lightly chilled too but less recommended, no more than 20 minutes.
(C) Full Bodied wines must not be chilled, in fact they are best decanted, at least opened to the air before drinking.

All the following wines are from M&S unless otherwise stated, starting off with the entry level wines.
