Some wine critics seem to think it's beneath them to mention the name of Britain's and one of the world's biggest selling brands.

But there are many reasons why Jacob's Creek is in that position and one is that its Aussie winemakers do know how to make good wine at everyday prices.

This blend of Shiraz, Cabernet and Spain's Tempranillo is spot-on with a great mix of blackcurrant and plum flavours.
