With UK government borrowing at jaw dropping record levels, the economy on a precarious knive edge and City bankers pondering the impact of the bonus tax on their wine investments, now is surely not the time to be drinking to excess. So instead, let's look back on a disastrous year for the economy (and look forward to the same for a few years to come) and console ourselves with some truly thrifty wines that are sure to bring a smile to your face and a sigh of relief to your wallet.
Chianti Superiore, 2004, Villa Malizia - ALDI £3.99
Here at Chateau Blogspot we're knocking back Chianti Superiore, 2004, Villa Malizia which is currently on offer at ALDI for a mightily affordable £3.99 - down from an previously affordable £4.99. Already 5 years in the bottle, Italian red is elegantly constructed with a palate hugging mix of berry fruits rounded off by 1 years patient mulling around in oak casks. Given my well documented preference for Clarets, this handsomely made Chianti was a pleasant surprise.
