Here's a selection of what has become a standard commodity nowadays, Austalian Shiraz, tasted here in London recently. They vary enormously in price but there are some good buys at most levels. I am a bit concerned about the bottles of Penfolds noted at the end however. They should be better and fresher than they tasted. Perhaps they were from a poorly kept parcel? I have noted UK stockists and prices where known.
