I don't profess to be a leading voice in wine but I have a favorite tipple (or two). They are all from the Hardy Stamp range and its taken me ages of trying (well I had to didn't I) to find wine that I love to drink. They are smooth and easy to drink.
1) Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (Picture of the lorikeet) White
2) Chardonnay Semillon (Picture of the Koala) White
3) Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon (Picture of the Kangaroo) Red
My brother loves French wine, but to me it tastes like vinegar. A drink has to be easily drunk for me to appreciate it, and not forced like some of the other bitter tasting wine.
What are your thoughts, French or other country vinegar tasting wine or smooth Australian wine?
What is your favourite bottle? I still need to reasearch so need to know my reasearch material. Sounds a good excuse anyway lol.

Cant vouch for other stores, but tesco staff are usually well versed in the wine range and many are tempted to try at home to say if good/bad? if you ask in store you may well find the people who fil the departments know quite a lot. best policy is to ask? failing that try your best established winesellers, they usually can tell you more.
NOT.
Find French wine overpriced and underflavoured. Poor value for money. As for what I drink, it depends on the mood I'm in; sometimes I like Italian white, Aussie red but it has to be full flavoured and not fizzy and not pink!!!
One of my closest female friends only drinks Blossom Hill rose and I keep on bringing her 'proper' wine. She's not converted yet.
Last night I was mostly drinking Pinot Grigio
:lol:

too general a question by far to answer, all ill say is some of my favourite wines when i used to drink were french, theres good and bad in all regions mate, there was a time when spanish wine was so cheap it was being used as a cheap alternative to anti freeze in scandinavia
Thank you all for your thoughts. 
Judy I have taken what you have said on-board. I will get myself a bottle (or two) and try your recommendation.
Lukewarm I have heard that about the Chilean wine as well. Thanks.
Looks like I will have to have a personal wine tasting session this weekend. Me and a few bottles of red.
