Hi Robert,
I've done a similar exercise with M&S; wines here in Ireland.
There's tremendous savings to be hand by examining the small print on the M&S; labels.
I'm all for it and if seen as a "wine person", then producing an M&S; or a Sainsbury wine shows you know wine well enough to see past the marketing.

in French Letters - ANPAA on The Wine Conversation
While the french reaction sounds a bit nuts and ever so slightly right wing, the integration of booze sponsorship into every sporting event imaginable is getting ridiculous.
The Heineken Cup, The Magner's League, The Guinness Premiership - three of the biggest rugby competitions. in the Veuve Cliquot (tm) Northern Hemisphere all sponsored by beer and stout multinationals (two of which are originally Irish, I'm ashamed to say).
The boozy prefix is now synonymous with these events. In fact, it's now gone further than synonymity with the commentators propagating the sponsors' goals: get the brand recognition into the young ones as they watch their heroes on the field of play!
