They also do a grand reserva vina maipo SB which is absolutely first rate.

Sainsburrys normal price is £9, but they did it half price before Christmas, so I bought 10 bottles!

Had this wine for the first time about a year ago while vacationing in the Dominican Republic. It immediately became one of my favorites. Found it to be very enjoyable with or without food. I was a person who was solely a Pinot Grigio fan when it came to white wines. Found this to be a nice change from the Pinot Grigio. Still dry but with a bit more fruity taste. Looking to buy retail in NY/NJ/PA areas of USA. Anyone know where?

Bought a bottle at Sainburys last wek for £3.99 and found it perfectly acceptable for routine quaffing so back today to buy 4 cases before it all disappeared! I reckon its damn good value.

Tried a bottle last week at Sainsburys at £3.99 and found it perfectly acceptable for routine quaffing so back today and bought 4 cases before it disappeared! I reckon its damn good value.

On a recent trip to the UK it struck me that Sainsbury’s prices Vina Maipo significantly higher than Dutch supermarkets do – even now £ has dropped in €’s. Nevertheless, as their rosado is my favourite, I had to try SB which I had not seen in NL yet. Too expensive really IMO at £ 7.99 but much better than the competition at the price it should be possible to get it for here. I’ll try to convince my local chain to carry it !
While we’re at it – an amazing SB I had that week was the NZ “Nautilus” at this resto, check it – they may have a few bottles on offer

£2.96 is stonking value but note the comments above re supermarket pricing. The “normal” price is not really £7.99.
There is plenty of controversy around supermarket pricing for example see http://www.thisismoney.co.uk.

Sainsbury’s offer of 3 for £10 means that with another -5% for more than 6 bottles that this normally £7.99 wine is £2.96 a bottle !! Has any wine professional ever reviewed this brand ?

I’m sitting drinking a glass right now; as Vina Maipo SB was on offer of 3 bottles for £10 this evening. At that price, it’s fantastic!

Golly

You are so right. I’ve just seen Maipo in Sainsbury at £3.99. At that price it is stonking value. I feel ripped off!
Perhaps I should only buy supermarket wines that are on offer from now on…

I quite like Vina Maipo SB, as you say, it’s not the best out there and isn’t worth £8, but Sainsbury’s regularly sell it at £4 ‘half price’ when it is good value and a great party/bbq wine. I just get irritated that the supermarkets don’t price more honestly.
