Here in Spain wine is so cheap that you can afford to be brave and try a new one now and then. If you don't like it you will have wasted a couple of euros, not the end of the world. You can always put a candle in the bottle even if you can't use the contents......
I have just spend 2.50 euros on a white wine in the supermarket Mercadona, my favourite supermarket in the Marbella area for its happy staff, great and I mean really great prices and its brown bread, delicious for toasting. This white wine blew me away, fruity, tangy but not tart and tastes like a very expensive white wine. It has that tell tale big bubble up its glass bottom, more expensive to produce than a regular flat bottomed wine bottle and that usually is an indicator that the wine will be better than average.
So if you are shopping in Mercadona pick up a bottle of Palacio de Vivero, Verdejo 2009. Absolutely DELICIOUS.

- My name is Anna and I've been living in Marbella on the Costa del Sol for 8 years. A recent convert to camping, ( had no idea how much fun it could be, yes, seriously) and spend most of my Thursdays whining to my husband, pleading for him to take me and the three little darlings for a week-end camping by the white, unspoilt beaches of Tarifa, right on the Atlantic Ocean.
