Under a fiver: 2004 Brown Brothers Tarrango

A fruity, juicy cherryish Beaujolais but with a little more opulence, ideal with bolognese or sausages and onion mash. £4.49, to 5 March, was £5.99, Waitrose

Under a tenner: 2004 Zonte's Footstep Shiraz-Viognier

Côte Rôtie's blending of syrah with viognier has encouraged a storm of imitators in the New World - such as this satisfyingly spicy, peppery blend. £5.99, to 14 March, down from £7.99, Sainsbury's

Splash out: 2003 Fonterutoli Chianti Classico

From the heart of Tuscany, this is the very model of a modern chianti with the sangiovese's intense sour-cherry aromas. £13.99, major Somerfield stores
