Lindisfarne Ginger Wine

Diana Cruz — Decent for what it is

6/10

Saw this in the gift shop at Holy Island and thought why not. It smells exactly like you'd expect — warm ginger, quite aromatic. Tastes better than most ginger wines I've tried, not too sugary and the finish lingers nicely. At £9.50 it's fair enough, wouldn't rush to buy it again but glad I tried it.

Carlos Mendez — Perfect winter warmer

8/10

I heat this up gently in a pan and it's absolutely gorgeous on a cold night. The ginger is bang on — warming without burning your throat, and there's a fruity depth underneath that rounds it out. Clean finish too, doesn't leave that cloying aftertaste some sweet wines do. Under a tenner as well, can't complain.

Helena Kosta — Not really my thing

5/10

My aunt bought this for Christmas and we cracked it open after dinner. It's very ginger-forward which I guess is the point, but I found it a bit sweet for my taste. The 14% ABV sneaks up on you though, I'll give it that. Would probably work better as a mixer than on its own.
