Default Newbie Wine Q

Hi all

First time in this group and it looks well spammed!
Anywho - being a total wine duffer, I am looking for something a bit up
market from our usual tipple.
Me and the missus have enjoyed the Jacob's Creek standard of tipple and are
particularly partial to their reds (Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon).
For this we pay £7-£9 a bottle IIRC.
If I pay nearer £20, will I see a significant improvement in quality/flavour
etc?

If so, whose wines should I try? If you are familiar with the Jacob's Creek
offerings, they are rich and thick (sort of thing) - not at all watery. Is
this what's known as full bodied? This is the style of wine I would be
looking to buy, with whatever improvement can be bought IYSWIM.

Suggestions on variety and stockist anyone please?

TIA

Phil
