Decanter World Wine Awards
DWWA 2011: Gold for under £4
A Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, costing £3.99, must be the biggest bargain of the year after winning a gold medal in the Awards.
The Cimarosa Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 from Chile’s Central Valley was judged to be gold-medal worthy by experts.
Cimarosa was joined by two other Chilean gold medallists in the top five best value golds: Marks & Spencer’s Pedro Ximenez 2010 and Tarapaca Malbec-Shiraz 2010.
While the South African rand has strengthened considerably against the pound and the dollar in the last 18 months, the Western Cape’s Drostdy-Hof Chardonnay 2010 and Asda’s Extra Special Fairtrade Chenin Blanc 2010 both made it into the top 3 best value gold medallists, selling for less than £7 a bottle.
Sometimes, you do get more than you pay for.
Have your say!

I bought the last 3 bottles of this wine in my local branch. Very disappointing indeed - OK for the money (£3.69) but not near to Gold quality. I often wonder if the wines that are tasted by the experts differ from the bulk that is sold to the rest of us.......
