Totally agree. I'm a bit of a wine snob (and also had a bit of oenology training in a previous life) and whilst there is plenty of bad wine at Lidl, there are also a few really interesting and sometimes very good bottles. In fact, I first went to Lidl because of a wine festival flyer I found from them, and that is still one of the things I look for when I go (with Lidl France having a much nicer selection than Lidl UK incidentally, but some interesting bottles at the latter too).
