Under £5

2008 Asda Argentinian Torrontés

Like a cross between gewürztraminer and Muscat, this fresh and fragrant Argentinian dry white from Trivento contains such a heady perfume and juicy, crushed fruit that it's moreishly impossible to resist. £4.30, Asda

Under £10

2004 Bay of Fires Tigress Chardonnay

A one-off deal, this classic, mature Tasmanian cool climate chardonnay from Hardy's shows tropical pineapple and mango flavours mingling with toasty oak; still fresh after all these years. £5.99, Majestic

Spalsh out

2007 Jean Marc Pillot Chassagne Montrachet

At this level of class and complexity, the chardonnay grape is transformed into a white burgundy whose subtle oak and richly textured, full-flavoured fruit opens a window on to the vineyard whence it came. £29, Waitrose
