Lidl, Pinot Noir, Vin de France, France, 2025

Thin and light – not quite watery – with gentle flavours of strawberry and raspberry. You wouldn't want to drink this every evening but as a simple, chillable lunchtime red or a party wine, it'll do the job without making your wallet ache. If you want something with more substance, you can pick up Lidl's Premium Pinot Noir (also a Vin de France) for £8.49.
