Under a Fiver
2007 Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne
With its Atlantic-influenced climate, the zesty, tropical characters and
appley bite of this colombard and ugni blanc blend from the Plaimont
Co-operative almost suggest Loire Valley sauvignon blanc.
£4.99, M&S
Under a Tenner
2007 Gemtree Tigers Eye Shiraz, McLaren Vale
If you're eyeing up the barbie, this superior Aussie screwcapped shiraz with
its smoky, paprika-like aromas is a powerful enough red to handle the
charriest of grills.
£9.99, Sainsbury's
Splash Out
2005 Pirie Estate Pinot Noir
Andrew Pirie has spent a lifetime honing the special qualities of Tasmanian
pinot noir and it shows in this elegant, aromatic red which smacks of
just-picked fraises du bois.
£16.99, buy 2 = £14.99, Majestic
