Night in

2013 The Exquisite Collection Limoux Chardonnay

Aldi should be a regular stop this year with wines like this juicy, Atlantic-influenced chardonnay with its burgundian oak tones on a cleansing, citrusy note. £6.99, Aldi

Dinner party

2012 Harvey Nichols Beaujolais-Villages

This seductive B-V is matured in oak to add richness to its gulpable red-berry tones. Finishes with a refreshing flourish to wash down pasta and roasts. £12.50, Harvey Nichols

Splash out

2013 Ten Minutes by Tractor Pinot Noir

This is a voluptuously savoury Aussie pinot noir from Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. £25.95-£29.95, The Wine Library, The Wine Tasting Shop, Oxford Wine Co
