Gallo Summer Red

A dark, chilly winter evening is an odd time to be trying this Gallo Summer Red.

The inappropriateness of the time of year, however, turns out to be the least of my concerns.

Sweet and sherberty with forest fruits, it tastes like a basic off-dry Mosel Riesling with added cough syrup.

Alcoholic sweetened fruit juice for people who don't like wine.

Far better to try this Gallo Pinot Noir recommended by Jancis Robinson.

£6.99; provided for review.
