Under a Fiver: 2004 Co-op Explorers Vineyard Unoaked Chardonnay

Chablis-like crispness and the purity of chardonnay fruit flavours combine in this dry white from New Zealand's Marlborough region. £5.99, Co-op

Under a Tenner: 2000 Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon

This Australian dry white is unique both for its relatively low alcohol content (just 11.5%) and its well-defined bottle-aged flavours and crisp lime-zest fruitiness. £9.99, selected Morrisons stores

Splash Out: 2003 Château de l'Engarran 'Cuvée Quetton St Georges'

A smoky blend of Mediterranean grapes, displaying blackberry fruit richness tinged with spice and pepper from the Languedoc. £12.99, Oddbins
