Mt. Difficulty bannockburn pinot noir: Was £31, now £26, Waitrose.com

Now, you can save around 15 per cent on the New Zealand pinot noir at Waitrose. If you need to stock up for summer barbecues, you’ll get an extra five per off when you buy six bottles.

Buy a case of six bottles of this New Zealand sauvignon blanc and you’ll save £10 per bottle. The grapes are grown in vineyards where the soils are said to afford the wine fresh aromas of white peach, lemon, apple and mango. Described as youthful with a refreshing acidity, it’s said to pair well with salads or grilled chicken, which we think should make it a great accompaniment to a light al fresco lunch.
