My partner only drinks Merlot and Tea. She likes the Barefoot Merlot best (£6 usually). I've bought her more expensive bottles before as a treat but she always goes back to that one as her favourite

I'm partial to big rounded red wines, anything from Barossa valley is usually a good bet, Barossa Ink, as mentioned further up the thread, is one I discovered recently and am partial to. Couple of years ago I discovered an app called Vivino, you can take a photo of a wine label and it'll give you reviews of the wine. Handy when you're stood in a supermarket and have no idea what to choose. Once you've drunk some and given them ratings, it'll suggest other wines for you to try. I think it cost a couple of quid but it's certainly saved me money.

I ordered 6 bottles from the whisky exchange, all under a tenner a bottle I’ve drunk four and they all have been wonderful
I,d be interested in how that Barolo went down? Decent price.

Nice, but I've had better for less. Very rich.

Wine is better for middle-aged people, it gets you drunk on fewer calories.

Tonight's accompaniment to the mince. Very nice, slips down easily. I can see me getting this again.

Just found this thread and might dip in more frequently!
Where has it been stored the last 20+ years?
Do you know the producer?
I ask these because '93 was a rubbish year in St Emilion generally; it should have probably been drunk years ago, but it might just be ok, depending on your answers. Apologies for the bad news but better knowing now than being disappointed in november.
I could suggest getting something from her birth year (2002) however this was also a rubbish year in europe generally. Apart from Burgundy which, if you can find anything, will be outrageously expensive. Other options could be champagne or dessert wines, again neither will be cheap. Apologies for more bad news.
So, my sensible alternative for your daughter's 18th would be to get a good bottle of something you know she likes*. Talk to your local merchant, they should be the wine equivalent of your LBS - friendly and helpful.
Do you have more than one bottle?
