video£8.79 Australian Shiraz – Better Than We Expected? (Episode 552)
In this episode of Wine Mastery, we taste an Australian Shiraz priced at £8.79 — a wine that challenges expectations right from the start. Shiraz has a reputation for being big, bold, and sometimes overpowering, and going into this tasting, we weren’t entirely convinced it would suit our palate. But as always, wine has a way of surprising you. From the outset, the wine shows a deep, rich purple colour, exactly what you’d expect from a classic Shiraz. On the nose, we found: • Pepper and spice • Smoky notes • Dark fruit, including blackcurrant • A hint of sour cherry There’s plenty going on aromatically, with a complexity that suggests this could be more than just a typical budget Shiraz. On the palate, this wine takes a slightly different direction… Instead of being heavy and aggressive, it’s noticeably lighter, smoother, and more approachable than expected. The fruit comes through more clearly, with cherry and spice leading the way, supported by soft tannins and a balanced fini

In this episode of Wine Mastery, we explore an Italian red wine made from the classic Sangiovese grape, priced at just £8.49 — firmly in the everyday drinking category. But does this affordable Italian red deliver good value, or does it fall short of expectations? Right from the start, the wine shows promise with a deep colour and attractive clarity, hinting at the character you might expect from a traditional Italian red. On the nose, the standout aroma is cherry, with a subtle floral note adding a little extra intrigue. When it comes to tasting, the wine proves to be smooth, balanced, and approachable, with juicy cherry flavours taking centre stage.

videoTuscan Wine at £8.99… This Shouldn’t Be This Good (Episode 574)
In this episode of Wine Mastery, we taste a Tuscan red wine that genuinely surprised us. At just £8.99, we weren’t expecting fireworks… but from the moment we poured it, the deep, velvet-rich colour told us this might be something special. This wine is exclusively available via Wine Drops, who kindly provided the bottle — but as always, our opinions are completely honest. On the nose, we found: Dark chocolate Cherries Mint (think After Eight!) A subtle touch of oak But the real surprise came on the palate. Smooth. Balanced. Velvety tannins. A smoky finish. Layered complexity that felt far beyond the price point. The big question: Is this genuinely a £47-quality wine for £8.99… or is that marketing optimism? We break down: The appearance and depth of colour Aroma analysis Structure and tannins Food pairing ideas (aged Comté, strong cheddar, lasagne, roast dinner) Whether this works as a standalone sipping wine And finally… our score One of us gave it 95 points — one of
