Under £6

2009 Undurraga Aliwen Sauvignon Blanc

With its herbal green undertones of pepper and green bean, this Chilean sauvignon blanc is refreshingly gooseberryish with a zesty-dry aftertaste. £5.16-£5.99, World Wines 4 U, Wilts (01747 830030)

Under £10

2007 Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Priorat

A powerful blend of carignan and grenache from the Catalonian hills, this opulent, chocolatey red combines sweet dark-berry fruit with grippy tannins and freshness. £7.49, down from £9.99, until 26 April, Sainsbury's

Splash out

2006 Amaren Graciano Rioja

Unusually made from pure graciano, this is an exceptional rioja, intensely perfumed and peppery with fleshy dark-cherry fruit and polished vanilla undertones. £38.99, Noel Young Wines (01223 844744)
