Whilst it is true that these\u00a0certainly offer plenty of plonk for your pound, you aren&#8217;t necessarily getting much bang for your buck. Not every wine you find on our shelves can be bought with the change in your pocket, but there are certainly many that offer fantastic value and deliver a whole lot more for the money than what you are likely to pick up in a supermarket. We were therefore thrilled by Victoria Moore&#8217;s article in The Daily Telegraph this weekend &#8211; &#8216;Wow-factor wines for under \u00a310&#8217;, in which she states:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;When drawing up lists like this I often give priority to wines that are widely available, in other words, wines on the supermarket shelf. This time there has been no positive discrimination of any sort. In this era of alleged fake news I thought you deserved to know about the very best, wherever it was from.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In order to make the cut, Victoria had three conditions &#8211; \u00a0a) be delicious b) be the best value wine of its type I could find and c) meet the price criterion. Five Lea &amp; Sandeman favourites made the cut, and we of course agree that these are some of the very best value wines available in the UK.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>You can order them by clicking below:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leaandsandeman.co.uk\/Wow-factor-wines-for-under-10-as-selected-by-Victoria-Moore-802-02.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26032\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-2207a.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Order-Pol-Button.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2016 PICPOUL DE PINET Domaine Reine Juliette<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26633\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-2207a.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2016-PICPOUL-DE-PINET-Domaine-Reine-Juliette.240x700.17079.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"119\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8216;As with prosecco, picpoul has become fashionable so fast that much of it is now dilute and disappointing and tastes like old boiled sweets.
