After the end of a long week, there's really nothing better than curling up on the sofa after a delicious dinner and enjoying a glass of wine or two. Over the past couple of years, I like to think my taste in wine has improved greatly - gone are the days of simply grabbing the cheapest bottle off the shelf and wincing with every sip. It's a much more enjoyable experience now I know what I like, and the improved quality also means feeling much better the following morning.
So after the news that Andrew Peace wines have launched in Tesco , I knew I had to give them a go. This award-winning Australian brand is known for crafting brilliant and delicious-tasting wines thanks to the vineyard sitting close to the Murray river in the southeast of the country, with the unique climate giving the wine that enviable taste.

50 each in Tesco, which right away sounded extremely reasonable. But would they hold up in a taste test? So I decided to give them both a try, beginning with the Andrew Peace Masterpeace Chardonnay one Friday after a particularly busy day. Being honest, I'd never usually choose a Chardonnay, with my white wine preference usually being a Pinot Grigio.
But immediately I was impressed by the bottle, which has a luxe-looking label emblazoned with the Andrew Peace logo in gold tones. And even with the first.
