Sunday lunch

Château Pey La Tour Réserve Bordeaux Supérieur 2010

Completely upturning the notion that most claret at this kind of price is a waste of time, this is sensationally good value from a very decent estate in a great vintage. The Merlot-dominated blend delivers ripe, full-bodied, juicy, smooth blackberry cassis flavours. Perfect with a rib of beef or rump steak. £10.50, thewinesociety.com; £12.99, cambridgewine.com

Midweek meal

Purato Cataratto Pinot Grigio Terre Sicilane 2014

Hailing from Trapani in the west of Siciliy, this is as organic as they come –even the label is made from recycled paper – and multi-award winning: a no-frills, refreshing blend of citrus and tropical fruits, easily drinkable. Suitable for almost any pasta or seafood. £8.99, Budgens

Bargain basement

Barbadillo Solear Manzanilla

This has to be one of the great supermarket buys: a half-bottle of superbly dry, tangy, salty, nutty Manzanilla – a sherry to convince those who do not like sherry. Drink chilled with piquant aperitif nibbles, particularly anything involving anchovies and olives. £4.75, Waitrose (37.5cl)
