Under a Fiver: 2005 The Naked Grape Sauvignon Blanc, Vin de Pays Charentais

I haven't worked out why it's naked, but it's dry and crisp with blackcurrant leaf aromas and gooseberry undertones.

£4.99, down from £5.99, until tomorrow, Waitrose

Under a Tenner: 2004 Chianti Classico Villa Cafaggio

Improved since the arrival of consultant Stefano Chioccoli, this sangiovese has sweet and sour cherry fruitiness.

£7.99, reduced from £9.99, Marks & Spencer, until 2 October

Splash Out: 2003 Eileen Hardy Chardonnay

Elegant Hardy annual with aromas of marzipan and apricot cut with intense fruit flavours. £16.99, Philglas & Swiggot (London SW11 and Richmond; 020-7924 4494)
