Cheapo CdRV (Visan 2015, 5€) with the saucisses aux lentilles. When I’ve finished the Rochefort, obvs.
You must be one of the very few who can find a bottle of wine cheaper than a bottle of beer. Chapeau.

The wine must be very young then, or have been bottled very recently, if the flies are still living. Maybe up your budget to something older than a week or two, or at least cellar it for a month or so? Flies’ life span, according to Mr Google, is around 40-50 days...My flies are still living, I'm beginning to think that they're in the bottles and when the corks are drawn they come out or at least one of them does.
I've drunk red wine for about 45 years and it's only in the past year that I've noticed this issue and it's been relatively rare ie about maybe four times, most of the wine we buy, probably about 90% of it, is from Aldi.
I wonder if some of their red wine suppliers are a wee bit dodgy?
The wine last night was an Australian Merlot, 2018 I think without checking the bottle.
I wouldn’t pay 5€ for a bottle of beer - you can get two Rochefort 10s for that!!You must be one of the very few who can find a bottle of wine cheaper than a bottle of beer. Chapeau.

You might get Spanish ones.Just received notification that my Portuguese wine order is being delivered tomorrow, hope the wine is fly free

Yes, I’ve been investigating solutions for a while. In the meantime I will liberate a few cratefuls from Vanuxeem aka beer heaven in Belgium next week, now they have assured me they are open.Well to be more accurate : you can, for now. For the less intrepid the UK price looks more like £4-5.
I don't mean to alarm you but this could be your post-Brexit future...
Excellent. Thanks for the heads-up. They are flying off the shelves in the stores, just reserved six in the fourth one I phoned. Must run, they’ve only given me 45 minutes to collect them...25% Off Waitrose wine cellar

I'll give Musar another go first time I had it must have been off.
Does it have to be 6 bottles of the same wine, or can I get a few cheapies and a couple of bottles of Krug at 25% off?
My credit card and car’s suspension are having a good laugh at that one.Wine is meant to remove stress from your life, not create it!
It was last week..!Thanks for the link! That’s some useful birthday presents bought!
It was last week..!
PS don’t forget the rubbish corks on these 2001 Musars. .
I’ve just noticed they actually tell you to take the cork out with a Butler’s Friend on the rear label!The last case of 2001 I bought have all had intact corks! Previous batches not so!
I suppose I'd better buy some more whilst on offer!
