Jewell said: "Customers regularly ask what Tesco provides to help them learn more about wine. On top of the annual wine fairs, Twitter and Facebook, we now provide live tastings which we hope will enable us to reach a wider audience of people who are interested in learning about wine but don't often have the time. I have long believed the best way to engage people in wine, is through conversation; an open discussion which anyone is able join and the live online tasting offers just that.

"In advance of the tasting I have selected six wines which fit with the time of year. There are a couple of rosé wines, two refreshing whites, a light fruity red which is even better slightly chilled, and of course the I Heart Brasil Sparkling Moscato - I don't think I need to explain why I selected that wine. This will be the third live tasting, but the first time we have offered a 'summer tasting' following two successful Christmas tastings."

The selected wines, which are available to purchase as a mixed case, are: 

  • Okahu Bay Sauvignon Blanc
  • I Heart Brasil Sparkling Moscato
  • Tesco Vinho Verde
  • Simply Garnacha Rosé
  • Finest* Chilean Merlot Rosé
  • Finest* Frappato
