These are the most popular wine brands in the UK, according to the latest approval ratings compiled by YouGov.
While cheap and cheerful Australian and American brands are very popular, Champagne, at least on special occasions, is also a favourite with the average drinker in the UK. It is particularly evident that the public has a sweet tooth, which may partly explain the stereotype about British dentistry.
These are the wine brands that the highest percentage of respondents had a positive opinion of, according to the survey conducted in Q1 2022. Without further ado, here are the ten wine brands that the British public choose when trying to enjoy their alcoholic beverages better.
1) Blossom Hill – 44%
The Californian brand has grown to become the UK’s most approved wine brand (according to this survey). Known for its off-dry rosé (around 8g of sugar per 175ml glass), it may not be the most exciting brand for wine connoisseurs. But with its consistency and low price, it’s easy to see why it has a strong following of loyal fans.
2) Echo Falls – 41%
As for the fruity blended form of Echo Falls that most of us are familiar with, its credibility as a wine is debatable, as it’s a blend of juice with a bit of wine. However, for this writer, it meets three criteria for a great student drink: sweet, fruity, and affordable. Of course, this sweetness comes at a sugary cost with 9.2 grams of sugar in a 175 ml cup of Echo Falls Fruit Fusion Summer Berries.
3) Jacob's Creek – 40%
Orlando Wines has been producing Jacob's Creek for nearly 50 years. Orlando Wines has been a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard since 1989. In that time, the Australian brand has become a favorite of many consumers and a staple in many school fair raffles.

6) Cassillero del Diablo – 33%

7) Bollinger – 33%
With its century-old Ascot festival and I, it’s clear that the British really do love Polly. Churchill, who drank champagne in the Pol Roger style, once described champagne as “the wine of civilisation and the oil of government” – and that doesn’t seem to have helped much in recent years. Recently, Bollinger unveils its latest release made entirely from Pinot Noir.
8) Yellow Tail – 31%
Owned by Casella Family Brands, the second Australian entry on this list, the brand was developed in 2000 and has been going strong ever since.

The Martini is also beating any Prosecco in the popularity rankings, showing the UK how to pour the drink the Italian way.
