2009 Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Chenin Blanc

This Cape dry white has a juicy pineappley and peachy fruit quality and subtle vanilla notes, enlivened by a refreshing spritz.

Under £10

2008 La Grange St Martin Réserve Côtes du Rhône

This ripe, blackberryish southern Rhône blend with its spicy, peppery undertones and refreshingly savoury acidity punches above its deal price. £5.99, down from £11.98, The Co-operative

A one-third portion of the syrah grape gives this otherwise classic Douro blend an aromatic uplift that combines beautifully with its vibrant spiced black cherry fruitiness. £14.99, or buy 2 = £11.99, Majestic
