The Wine Snob believes you always get what you pay for with expensive wine.
Are they:
Science knows better!
Studies have shown that expensive wine is far from the holy grail.
In blind tastings of a mix of wines, scientists asked a group of wine drinkers which they preferred and the priciest wines didn't come out on top!
So stick to the £8-£10 sweet spot (more on that later) - the wine snob will never know the difference...

The Wine Snob has a cellar full of bottles with pictures of châteaux and sprinklings of faux dust.
Are they:
Here's what they don't know...
... they've fallen for a bunch of marketing tricks!
But you can’t drink those! And who wants their hard-earned cash to end up in the marketing boss’s bonus?
Better to look beyond brand names and bling for truly distinctive wines made by independent winemakers.
Look for a message from the winemaker. A personal touch shows there's love and care in the bottle.

The Wine Snob sticks religiously to famous wines and regions.
Is this:
Famous wines and good wines aren't always the same...
Snobs insist there are only a few good châteaux, but they're wrong; today great wines come from over the world.
And if you're brave enough to go off the beaten track, you'll save serious sums.

Beware: If a review starts with a haiku, it's an undercover snob at work...

The Wine Snob never buys supermarket wines.
Are they:
It's classic snob behaviour, but they're right to be wary...
A supermarket might suddenly drop a £10.99 wine to £6.99, "NOW OR NEVER AGAIN!!!". But if it's good wine, why slash the price to sell it?
Choose wines that are fairly priced all year round to know you're always getting a good deal.
Don't worry if the snob looks smug now, the next tip will blow them out of the water...

Wine Snob: You can’t get a good bottle of wine for under £30.
Are they:
Of course they're wrong!
£10 is as much as you need to spend. Here’s why:
Pay £5 and you only get 31p worth of wine. The rest is lost on packaging and taxes. But at £10, you get £2.70 worth of wine - over EIGHT TIMES more!
Quality doesn’t get much better beyond that, so you’re safe with the £10 sweet spot.
Next time your snob friend raids a savings account for wine, ask them where their money is really going...

So how can you get world-class wine every time, worry free – without overspending?
Wrong!
The truth is, there are only TWO things worth your money – great grapes and talented winemakers.
And those cost a lot less than you might think...
