Win a case of McGuigan Wines for Christmas

by

I’m a little partial to a glass of wine – but as for knowing which wine to buy I’m not very brave. I stick to what i’ve had before, friends’ recommendations plus the rather marvellous blog Knackered Mothers’ Wine Club for a bit of inspiration.

I do know how I like wine to taste though, so I was really pleased to hear that Australian brand McGuigan Wines are re-launching their classic range here in the UK with new labels designed to make shopping for vino a bit simpler.

What's your style

For all seven types of wine in the Classic range there are three key words on the label that describe the style, texture and fruit notes within the bottle so you can very quickly figure out at a glance, if it’s the wine for you or not.

You can also check out these fun tasting notes…

McGuigan Classic Wines are available at selected retailers including Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Majestic and Co-Op with prices starting from £6.99 (RRP)

However – if you fancy winning a mixed case of the Classic range then you’re in the right place coz I’m sneaking another giveaway in before Christmas 🙂

    I’m afraid I have no idea what it’s called, because I only drink it at my mum and dads house but it’s red and really fruity and sweet!

  22. Christine Ball says

    My favourite wine is a good Rose as it is wholesome, nutritious and tastes quite delicious

  24. Jane Willis (@janesgrapevine) says

    I don’t have a single favourite – it depends on my mood, my meal and the weather, although if you meet me in Majestic Wine I will be mostly hovering around the reds from Argentina and Chile and the New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs.

  31. Laura Carroll says

    My favourite wine is Cherry Lambrini…. that’s pretty immature right? Ah well, I like it 😀

  48. Dawn says

    Depends on the food, etc., but have a soft spot for Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon (a Chilean red). Am a big fan of the fuller bodied New World wines.

  63. Diane Carey says

    I’m not very good with wines. I only like a sweet/medium sweet or a non alcoholic wine. But definately not red wine

  82. Judy Yorke says

    It is honestly McGuigan. We stayed on the vineyard for a couple of nights on honeymoon in Australia in 2002. Have bought it ever since! It’s “our” wine

  91. Jan Bailey says

    I love a New World Sauvignon Blanc. Big fan of McGuigan wines too. Especially like their lower alcohol red (9%)

  92. Lyndsey Brett says

    I love all wine apart from Red wine which is a bit too rich for me!
    However, if I had to chose one favourite wine in particular it would be a sparkling Rose.

  109. Jan Beal says

    I love a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Red wines, my favourites are Spanish Old Vines Garnacha and Australian Shiraz

  123. Claire Nelson says

    My favourite wine depends on why I am drinking it but if I had to only ever drink one wine I think I would choose a rioja.

  127. Susan Martin says

    Oh mu taste have changed as I have got older when from white to red and it has to be a heavy red deep and fruity Winemakeer seal is my favorite at the moment

  151. Julie Venner says

    I have retweeted as @vennerjoolz, liked the facebook page and my favourite wine is Shiraz. Merry Christmas!

  172. Jo Jackson says

    Pretty much any white or rose sparkling wine – obviously Champagne as a first choice but due to cost restrictions, Cava, dry, cold and beautiful flutes will do!

  175. Jane Morrice says

    Favourite red is Pinot Noir and we’ve just discovered Albarino which is now our favourite white, taking over from Viognier

  192. Amanda Botterill says

    my favourite is merlot, I always look for McGuigans first as it is our favourite, but it is often not available. Then i check for the next best Merlot on ‘special’

  223. Tom Wilson says

    Love a wide range of wine, tonights tipple is a middle of the road Rose, if I am drinking on my own like like a nice white, and if I am sharing with my wife we like a hearty red…..
