£2.50 of the bottle of wine is usually is duty and VAT, so exceptional value.

Excellent deal- in my opinion the best value red wine you can buy in the UK. They also have a reserve version which is dearer but also very nice. My wife likes the rose. Does anyone know if they will be doing a white one?

I have to 100% agree with you. One of best wines under £20. Just let it open for some time to set down and u will be surprised. Aldi start now with new Torro Locco Utile Requena 2014 for about £1 more. It's 75% Bobal and 25% Merlot aged 4 months in American oak barrels.
If you have a chance try Rioja Joven. I found it even better.

There is no sign of a white, but a lot of people have asked over the past couple of years

Coming up with free delivery for me.
I bought a bottle of Kooliburra Oz Shiraz for £3.89 the other day at it was an extremely good wine. Good reviews too.

U know I'm just average Joe. I drink the wine by taste not by price or name(this is not wine for cooking).

Crazy Bull is an apt name for the wine when people rush to clear it off the shelves without having tasted it first.
That said, from memory the 2009 one was pretty good but no idea what this one is like. In fact they haven't even put the year on the website.

Off the IWSC website if anyone's interesting,
"Toro Loco Tempranillo 2014
Bronze 2015
Entered By Aldi Stores Ltd
Producer Name BVC Bodegas S.L.
Country of origin Spain"
Worth noting that the Toro Loco Bobal Merlot 2013 got a Silver Award and the Rose got a Bronze.
Personally I'm not a fan of tempranillo grapes so I'd go for the merlot and bobal even if it's a bit more expensive. Each to their own.

This is one of my favourites and I'm well stocked! Would have picked some up some more this morning if I'd noticed the price but I only had eyes for the Prosecco which seems to have been permanently reduced in price to £4.99.

As someone who works in a wine shop but can't stand the snobbery, this wine is only okay. It's a bit thin and not really typical of it's style but at that price is perfect for a BBQ or something. If not, spend a bit more and go for a Rioja joven if Tempranillo is your thing.

Yes I wrote about Rioja before it's nice wine.

Nice wine. I buy a bottle every time I do a shop, but like someone else has said, it is £3.49 normally.

I too am an 'ordinary' and having tried drinking this, would only use it for cooking!. The malbec is OK though!

You should never cook with a wine you wouldn't drink. And if everyone liked the same wine they'd only need to produce one

So thats probably reason why I enjoy it more. But definitely try https://www.aldi.co.uk/rioja-joven/p/000000035170500
