A Decent Low Alcohol Red

I've wibbled on before to people about how, despite there being some very drinkable lowish alcohol rose wines about¹ there are no reds worth drinking.

Well finally I've found one: Miranda Summer Light Shiraz. It's 5.5%ABV again, my local Tesco stock it at £4.99 a bottle and you can also get it delivered by the case, and it's rather fine. Not got the full body of a typical 13% ABV Shiraz but you still feel like you're drinking a decent enough red wine.

I wouldn't any of these as a substitute for full strength if you've got that option mind you, but for those of us who have to keep a strict watch on our alcohol intake it does mean you can glug it down with a little more enthusiasm and for me at least that's a lot more fun that sipping my way through a small amount and then having to switch to something alcohol free.

1. The 5.5% ABV Blossom Hill Vie Rose is a particular favourite of mine, but there's others about.
