Usually £10, currently reduced to £7.50, -25% for x6 bottles, £5.62 per bottle. I got six yesterday, will be heading back for a dozen more tomorrow. Surprisingly full with a sweet touch but great balance and freshness in the finish. I'm not generally big on fizz but this is excellent, a view shared by others who tried it. Is there a better sparkler in the UK for under £6?   http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/ ... R4bZW6uYHk |

Did you give the Canti Prosecco a try too? That's reduced to £6.75 + 25% off = £5.06 Bought a Demi of these with some friends for the girls to drink on a camping trip last week. Went down well Would be interested to see how it compares to the sainsburys TtD prosecco |

I didnt see the Canti Shez, truth is i didnt go in for wine and spotted the offer when heading for the till, knew the girls wanted a fizz and grabbed a case, glad I did. Whilst Im here, for fans of ARA Pathway wines- Morrisons are selling the SB & PN x3 for £12, £4 a bottle. Ive tried both, I liked the SB, the PN was acceptable but nothing to shout about, Burgundy in style but a touch thin. Still a good price for two well made wines, NZ bottled. |

If you're going back for the TtD prosecco it's worth giving the Canti a go for a fiver to see what you think The ara pathway looks like it's going for £6 a single bottle which is good value to start with but if it's £4 then that's just stupidly cheap and well worth a trip instore |

Indeed, £4 for decent everyday gluggers, whats not to like? GK, I'm sorry I missed your recommendation, by the time I got back from Dorset, Sainsbury was closed - 16:00 on a Sunday. GK & Shezza, thanks for the Ara Pathway MSB tip, I'm not enjoying the Sainsburys Brent Maris River Block TtD MSB, poor on day 2 and heavy acidity and nout else on Day 3. Horrid, like sucking pale lemons on day 3, not much dimension, no tropical fruits. I may take The Ned for the ladies and summer quaffing in the garden, this on a Waitrose 25% discounted offer for 6. I'd like to find a cheap SB glugger, that was acceptable the next day ! All the cheapos ( That I've tried recently ) deteriorate, go downhill rapidly after 24 hours. Lets kick MSB into touch for the mo, I'm just not getting pleasure & satisfaction out of the cheap ones . . . . . dunno ? Well I do, there appears to be a revised additive to give texture, a certain mid palate sweetness and glugging ease when (summer) chilled, when that wears off . . . . . . wine fully open etcetera - that thing is unmasked ! I'm drinking a lovely Beronia '07 Reserva just now. Cos I'm wanting to be spoilt midweek for a change ! So there

No MSB in my Morrisons so I went for 6 of the PN. Thanks for the heads up GK |

I opened a bottle of the PN last night, jury is still out mostly because I'm just getting over a cold and my palate is shot but I did pick up on some interesting characteristics, one being a very, very slight spritz in the finish. There's a sour cherry edge to this, but not unpleasant. I will revisit this evening. Crazy price really, £4 for single estate NZ bottled Pinot. Perhaps Morrisons bought too much and want to shift it quick. |

Which vintage did you try? I got 1x 2008 (12.5% alc), 3x 2010 (13%) & 2x 2011 (13.5%) I'd expect there to be some difference in the wines both because of age and alc content |

The PN was 2011, second night wasn't much better, I'm still not convinced by this and won't be going back for more. I'm drinking the 2012 SB as I type, very good, light and sharp, just how I like NZSB, good fruit, a steal at £4, I will go back for a dozen tomorrow. |

Shame to hear that about the PN. Hopefully the earlier vintages may show a bit better Sadly no MSB in my most local store but they do have the Montes late harvest Gewertz going for £4.98. I picked one up to try do hoping I've found a bargain sticky to compete with the Tesco dessert semillon for QPR |
