Under £5

2008 Cono Sur Tesco Chilean Reserva Sauvignon Blanc

This new vintage, cool climate sauvignon blanc from Chile's Pacific-influenced Casablanca Valley is refreshing and aromatic, displaying the classic gooseberryish fruit of the grape with a citrus zing. £4.69, Tesco

Under £10

2006 Zefyro, Alentejo

Dense in colour with bright brambly fruit on the nose, this Alentejo red shows typical southern Portuguese richness with plenty of mulberry and damson jam fruitiness and juicy tannins. One for roast pork and crackling. £8.99, Booths

Splash out

2004 Muga Reserva Seleccion Especial

From a great vintage for Rioja, this classy blend of mainly tempranillo, plus garnacha, mazuelo and graciano, is traditional in style, with smoky vanillan aromas and a rich, chocolate-tinged palate of dark cherry. £18.99, Waitrose
