French Wines Red
can somebody please name some affordable, quality red french wines available in the UK?

also interested in wine from North Africa

North Africa I am not too certain on, but if you have an hour pop into a bookstore and track down Sotheby’s Wine Atlas which is written by Tom Stevenson and see what comments he has. The only wine from that region (loosely) is Lebanon and Chateau Musar (£15 – 20 bottle) I know they are producing a second wine but I do not know the cost.

As to value French wines, where do I start. The massive area of Vins Pays D’Oc will unearth some crackers, and what the UK call Regional France will do so in abundance.

Always set a limit to what you are prepared to pay for a wine and if it is as much as £8 then look at some declassified Bordeaux, or even minor Chateaux as they would undoubtedly fit the bill.

If push come to shove for about £5.50 you can get James Herrick Merlot, A Kiwi in Narbonne making truly superb wines.
