DRINK OF THE WEEK
16th February 2026
Meadowlands Chenin Blanc
Marks & Spencer/Ocado £8.50
Drinker Rating 89
South African wine is really blossoming right now. Maybe it's to do with the increasing maturity of the vines, the greater experience of the wine makers, maybe it's as simple as favourable exchange rates - whatever there's never been a better time to buy their wine.
They've made Pinotage their very own red grape - and why not, it was created there. And as for whites they are staking a claim on Chenin Blanc - particularly on affordable easy drinking Chenin.
This one form M&S comes in at a staggering £8.50, offering amazing value for money for an everyday easy drinking fridge filler.
Cheers!
