Wine: Something for the Weekend?
Under a Fiver
2007 Tesco Chilean Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
From Cono Sur, one of Chile's most appealing brands, this lightly minty cabernet sauvignon with its soft, opulent fruit, suggests what good claret under a fiver might be like.
£4.69, Tesco
Under a Tenner
2007 Wither Hills Pinot Gris Marlborough, New Zealand
New Zealand is increasingly coming up with impressively ripe and spicy wines, such as this refreshingly juicy, apple and pear-flavoured dry white.
£9.99, Waitrose
Splash Out
2005 Cuvée Occitane Rouge, Domaine Gayda, Vin de Pays d'Oc
This "fruit salad" Mediterranean of syrah and grenache displays a berry fruitiness and a sleek veneer of spicy oak.
Around £10.99, Bona Wines, Tetbury (01666 505911)
