Wine pairs well with almost every meal, but it can be intimidating to understand what all the lingo means.

Wine aficionado Luke Flunder has become a TikTok sensation, racking up over 200,000 followers with his unique blend of unconventional wine-tasting and candid reviews. In one of his latest viral videos, the famed sipper introduced a £6.99 Argentinian white from Waitrose that really tickled his fancy

On a mission to uncover the finest wines for less than a tenner, the Santa Rose Organic Torrontes at £6.99 appears to have made quite the impression. The ex-Majestic Wines manager, who uses social media to dish out his wine-drinking wisdom, points drinkers towards top-notch tipples that won't break the bank such as this one.

Discussing Argentina's hallmark white grape, Luke is eager to take a sip saying "I'm excited to try this. The Torrontes grape is a little bit different to other white wines as it should smell sweet but taste dry."

Gearing up for a taste test, the wine guru declares, "I'm back in the hot seat, back in Argentina, but this time not with a Malbec" he continues "What you get with Torrontes is floral flavours and also a bit of peach and apricot. I have high hopes for this."

Following a practised swirl of his glass and an eager sip, the celebrity quaffer notes the characteristics of the wine, saying "It reminds me of a lemon freeze pop but not in a bad way, It's got that florality coming through (if that's a word) and it's got a little bit of spice lingering on the finish."

Looking rather chuffed, Luke wraps up his critique with a straightforward endorsement: "It's a cracking white for £6.99 and I highly recommend it."
