Under £5

2009 Errazuriz Estate Tapihue Block Sauvignon Blanc, Casablanca, Chile

This cool-climate sauvignon blanc is half-way between assertive New Zealand flavours and the nettley freshness of Sancerre. £4.99, down from £7.99, Tesco, until 8 January

Under £10

2008 Viña Leyda Costero Syrah, Leyda, Chile

You could be forgiven for thinking Cornas from the Northern Rhône, because this spicy red displays Rhône's peppery edge with berry opulence.

£8.69, or buy two = £6.95, Majestic2007 Waipara Hills Southern Cross Pinot Noir, Central Otago

From New Zealand's South Island, this pinot noir displays a fragrant rhubarby aroma, following through with the burgundian variety's classic red-berry fruit flavour and balance. £12.99, Sainsbury's
