Under £5

2008 Sensas Sauvignon Blanc, Vin de Pays des Côtes du Tarn

Delicately scented sauvignon blanc whose herbal aromas and fresh apple and gooseberry flavours deliver a mouthwatering bite. Sensas indeed. £6.99, buy 2 = £4.99, until Monday, Majestic

Under £10

2008 Tawhiri Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand

This is a pungent example from Yealands, whose asparagus and green bean undertones are supported by crisp and refreshing passion fruit and gooseberry flavours. A winner. £7.99, The Co-operative

Splash out

2006 Gevrey Chambertin, Domaine Guillon

A degree of toasty oak on the nose heralds a modern style of red burgundy, while the ripe berry fruitiness layered with vanilla oak and tannins complements the acidity. £24.99, Wine Rack
