Australia's wine exports to England keep increasing but which Australian wines are the English actually drinking? A good guide is the selection stocked by the major Tesco supermarket chain which has some 120 Australians on its list.

The best Australian seller is Jacobs Creek Dry Riesling which comes in as Tesco's third best selling white wine after its own brand French White Burgundy and a German Riesling. Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay is the second Aussie and the eighth biggest selling white overall.

In the reds the biggest seller is from South Africa followed by two from France and one from Crete. The Lindemans Bin 50 Shiraz is the top selling Australian red at fifth overall and the only Australian wine in the top ten.
