Apparently it retails for £6.99 but seems to have fallen out of favour with my local tesco and has been relegated to the clearance shelf. Unfortunately the 2005 has not accompanied it.

I'm sure this is the normal Semillon rebranded as low alcohol for 2008, it's 10% abv which is only slightly lower than earlier years.

For a low alcohol wine it's very acidic and fresh, more akin to grapefruit juice than wine and certainly not worth drinking now. The question is in five years time what will it be and can you wait that long?

My Tesco have ditched this. Sold off at £2.99.

I only bought one. It was a long way off being drinkable and I haven't got room to store wine that may not improve.

It's not on their website. Every low alcohol wine that I have tried has been dire.
