John Wilson: Two great-value wines from Lidl

This week, I take a look at two wines from Lidl. I have featured them both in the past, but they offer great value for money, the Grüner Veltliner in particular, so I thought it was worth reminding you. Austrian wine is usually good but rarely cheap, so if you enjoy light white wines, this is well worth trying out. The price has crept up by a euro since last year, but it is still great value. The label on the Rioja has changed slightly but I think it is the same wine.

An unoaked Rioja with fresh dark cherry fruits, good acidity and light tannins. Try it with lamb or a herby bean and tomato stew.Almost 400 apartments planned for Dublin’s Grand Canal cost-rental schemeDeveloper fails in Supreme Court bid to save planning permission for 1,593 Drumcondra apartmentsECB should not be afraid to ‘diverge’ from Fed on interest rates
