Under a Fiver
2006 St Hallett Poacher's Blend
St Hallett has reinvented itself as a producer of good-value wine, like this
juicy, summer fruit salad of a dry white whose fruitiness is neatly defined
by refreshing acidity.
£4.99 until 15 July, Waitrose
Under a Tenner
2006 Collioure, Cornet & Cie Blanc
From the south-west Pyrenean corner of the Roussillon, where Mediterranean
villages like Collioure match the beauty of their scenery with richly
flavoured dry whites like this crisp, dry grenache gris.
£9.99, M&S
Splash Out
2005 Vasse Felix Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon
Matured in oak, this classic cab sav is richly endowed with stylish smoky oak
aromas and intense cassis fruitiness.
