2007 Muscadet A worthy member of the Taste the Difference range, this is a typically crisp, bone-dry muscadet from Jean Douillard who creates the thirst-quenching tang thanks to leaving the wine longer on its grape lees. £4.99, Sainsbury's
Under a Tenner
2002 De Bortoli All Rounder Semillon Australian semillon often needs a few years' bottle age for its flavours to come into their own; like this dry white, whose dried apricot and citrus fruit characters are rounded out with a honeyed richness. £7.19, Tesco
Splash Out
