Under £5

2007 Falanghina Feudi di San Gregorio

Even £6.99 was frankly cheap for this stylish dry southern Italian white, whose rich yet refreshing stonefruit flavours and refreshing zing are not a million miles from chablis. £4.89, down from £6.99, bin-end, Oddbins

Under £10

Winemaker's Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

All you could ask for, and more, from a Kiwi sauvignon blanc at this price: passion fruit and elderflower mingling on the nose, crisp and juicy passion fruit flavours topped off by a zesty, citrusy dry aftertaste. £5.99, Aldi

Splash out

2005 Orovela Saperavi, Georgia

£16.99 for a wine from Georgia? Never mind the Mondavi-like label or heavy bottle, the wine is delicious: a vivid, modern, well-crafted red made from Georgia's quality grape variety, saperavi. £16.99, Waitrose Wine Direct
