Terry Kirby selects the best bottles to buy

Sunday lunch

Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud, Morgon, Côte du Py, 2011

This astonishingly well made and vibrant Beaujolais-Villages wine demonstrates the versatility of the Gamay grape; though richly assertive with fabulously deep, dark cherry and plum flavours and a long, savoury finish, it remains freshly mineral on the palate. Exciting now, but will improve with age and an ideal accompaniment to venison casserole or cassoulet to ward off January chills. £11.95, thewinesociety.com

Midweek meal

La Casa de Sitios de Bodega Sauvignon Blanc 2011

This very modern-tasting Sauvignon Blanc – from one of northern Spain's oldest wine-making areas – shows all the influences of the New World in its fresh and zingy grapefruit and gooseberry flavours, but without the mouth-puckering acid-drop tendency and with a lovely, soft, rounded finish. Try with baked cod loin with a herb crust. £6.49, Co-op stores

Bargain basement

Torre del Falco Nero di Troia Puglia, 2010

One of the best January discounts around, this smashing red from the southern heel of Italy features the less well known but indigenous Nero di Troia grape, which delivers plenty of full-on, bright red-fruit flavours and a nice crispness on the palate. A satisfying and easy drinking bottle for home- made pizza or a bowl of pasta with a traditional ragu. £5.99 (until January 22; normally £7.99), Waitrose
