Some half bottles of clarets from the supermarkets

I had blogged about half bottles at the Club the other day, but so far I had not got around to trying them. There are a number of branches of the big 2 supermarkets within walking distance (say the distance between 2 MTR stations) and occasionally one gets to see some interesting wines in them, even half bottles! These are some which I got recently (though the Chateau Lilian Ladouys might have been from a little earlier). Often one sees a mixture of basic bottles of reds and whites from the New World (particularly Australia and maybe Chile or Argentina) but occasionally one gets to find the odd example of claret in half bottles. Entry level Sauternes is often seen and they seem to be most easily available of any Bordeaux half bottles in these supermarkets.

PS. I recently got a bottle of Vin Santo from one of these shops (together with a bottle of grappa, seemingly made from respectable Tuscan wines) Now that is really a wonderful surprise!
