What They thought: 'I wouldn't drink this even if I were drunk'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.WE ASKED six members of the public to sample four wines. Two been given the 'Australian treatment'; the others were traditional styles. The 'Australians' were more popular, although the words 'revolting' and 'urgh' were much in use.
The Gyongyos Estate Chardonnay ( pounds 3.35), a Hungarian wine made by an Englishman and a team of Australians, was described as 'inoffensive and drinkable' by David Knights and 'smooth with some vanilla' by William Lyth. Its Bulgarian rival, Khan Krum Chardonnay ( pounds 2.99), was 'bloody disgusting - 0 out of 10', according to Sue Sturton. 'I wouldn't drink this even if I were drunk' was another comment.
The Chais Baumiere ( pounds 3.99) Cabernet Sauvignon, Vin de Pays D'Oc, by the Australian Hardy Wine Company, was given '10 out of 10 for flavour' by Andrew Girvani.
Its opposite number, Sainsbury's Medoc ( pounds 3.95), was 'weak', 'thin', and 'watery' to most of the panel. But Lianne Belton said: 'I think it's great - I like all red wines.'
