It is, very.
For the budget-concious Aldi Toro Loco Tempranillo is a fantastic wine for the money, under £ 5 a bottle. If you can get it, it sells as fast as they put it on the shelves.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 21 May 2013, 10:06, Reply)

I'll be doing that soon for a while.
A3 south of Guildford heading north is a disaster. The same stretch heading south is even worse. Don't cut through Guildford in either direction in the mornings or evening because the whole town jams up.

The M3 is better, slightly, but still deeply unpleasant. Avoid the Hog's Back, speed camera vans more often than not, joins the A3 at the worst possible time and downright dangerous in winter.

But hand-tilling makes the corn taste better!
OK, the amount of water and sunlight and whther or not you used forced growth and chemical fertilisers "might" have a bearing, but not as much as whether you dug the ground by hand or machine!!

Screwtops have absolutely no bearing on the quality of the wine.
Corks, on the other hand can utterly ruin it.

Yes, the year "may" be important.
( Kroney, Tue 21 May 2013, 10:18, Reply)

I went to a wine tasting once.
It was reasonably interesting (plus I got royally hammered) if only for finding out that the law of diminishing returns applies. A £50 bottle of wine is only slightly better than a £20 bottle, and the "sweet spot" of price/quality is about £15-20.
