Wine: Something for the weekend?

Under £5

2008 South African Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz

One of the best-value wines there is, this joyfully juicy mulberry and cherry-fruity Cape blend from the Swartland winery is topped off with a light touch of tannin. £4.09, Tesco.

Under £10

2007 Domaine du Petit Chêne Moulin-à-Vent

This beaujolais is transformed from the humdrum into a juicy red full of strawberry and cherry fruitiness with a touch of oak to add rounded texture and backbone. Worth squirrelling away a few bottles. £9.99, M&S.

Splash out

2006 Louis Jadot Meursault

A classic white burgundy, superbly rich in apple and pear-like flavours, with the complexity of subtly integrated oak and deliciously succulent balancing acidity. £19.99, Sainsbury's, to 13 April.
