In this case judge a wine by its bottle...

Normally I would tell you not to judge a bottle of wine by its bottle, because the labels can be so misleading. However, I picked this wine for that very reason: Calvet Côtes du Rhône Villages 2014 £7 from Tesco, Ocado etc.

Strong brand name, Côtes du Rhône Villages is going to be good quality Syrah yet inexpensive, and look at the gorgeous bottle shape, and here the lovely textured neck:

Very pleasing to the eye and touch. And inside? A gorgeous, fruity, zingy red wine with punch (13%)! I drank the lot! Well almost... I couldn't squeeze in the last glass 😉

I'm very happy to recommend this wine, and at the price if say to buy half a case. Enjoy!
