Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Cotes de Gascogne white 2024 review - WineUncorked: Wine Reviews and Tips

sainsburys

I got this when Sainsbury’s had a 25% off offer with 3 or more Taste the Difference wines plus a Nectar store card. So the original £7.50 a bottle price (way too much) came down to a more reasonable £5.60. This is an everyday drinking wine with lime and passionfruit flavours. Taste is quite sweet initially but this dies away after a day or two if you don’t finish the bottle. This type of wine sells in massive 3-litre wineboxes in French supermarkets and is designed to be quaffed rather than appreciated.
