No idea. Why don't you buy one and let us all know whether or not we should get down there and clear the shelves?

If I were to spend £5~£6 on a bottle of port (before promotion), I would go with the Warre's Warrior.

The standard price for Warrior is about a tenner, it's only on promotion at that sort of price.

I think I've had Trademark for cooking. Don't remember a TN so it's probably adequate at that price.

I think you should shop around, this is their standard price, Somerfield also sell it for a similar price.....

It's Dow's reserve wine - Midnight is their ruby brand - so £5.50 is not that bad - but not dazzling either...

However, it is very important that people drink these wines -

- so I can drink the good stuff..

So having had a jolly tour around the Houses, I presume no one has tried it? I'll try an catch a bottle, but probably like the rest of you, it's a busy time of life!

It's not the end of the world, but if it's anything like half decent, it would be worth throwing a dozen in a cupboard.
