Wine: Something For The Weekend?

Under a Fiver

2007 Rosso di Puglia

A blend of the local negroamaro, literally black and bitter, with a dash of primitivo, this is a vivid southern Italian rosso, whose juicy, damsony fruit quality makes it the perfect barbecue red.

Under a Tenner

2007 Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner, Kamptal

If you haven't tasted Austria's signature grape variety, Waitrose's current discount is just the incentive you need to try this aromatic dry white.

Splash Out

Stylish Kiwi pinot noir, whose rich fruit combines with finely crafted oak spice and refreshing acidity.
