Back in stock soon at Aldi for £29.99 it's sublime.
Ignore the 16th November that was last year
A few suggestions on link

My preference would be the Phelan Segur.
Also check out Chateau Musar from the Lebanon; when it's good it's wonderful and '76 was a good year; I'm referring to the red specifically as the white is very much an acquired taste - some I love but others are vile.
1976 was a very good year for German Riesling - if you like off dry white; don't be put off by any tartrate crystals in the bottle - look like sea salt crystals - as they're just a sign of ageing.
Would need to check for declared vintage port but check out Berry Bros & Rudd or Majestic Fine Wines or your local merchant.
Penfolds Grange would be superb but way beyond your indicated budget.
If your missus likes dessert wine - there's a world of choice and these age fantastically well; Tokaj, Eiswein, Beerenauslese, Ttrockenbeerenauslese.
Time to stagger down to the cellar - hic..................
I drank a 1979 Rioja back in 2010. It had been sitting on my Mum's shelf since the 80s and she hadn't quite known what to do with it.
It was perfectly serviceable. Quite nice, actually. Weird, effectively drinking the products of rainwater that had fallen 30something years ago.. 😯
Why not go for a classic 70s wine?

Most Tokay - or Sauternes should be perfectly good at this age, your budget probably wont stretch to Yquem. Need to like sweet wine though.
Or you could go for a '76 retro edition' of this: http://www.dylanswine.co.uk/product-details.asp?Auto_ID=1367
It's like old wine but new....
