Night in

2012 Pazos del Rey Godello , Monterrei

Wash down fried squid with this Galician dry white made from the godello grape, that is attractively balanced between fruit opulence and a lively zing. £9.99, Marks & Spencer

Dinner party

2012 The Magpie Estate Black Craft Shiraz, Barossa Valley

What you want from a young Barossa shiraz: spicy aromatics, blackberry richness and savoury acidity. Even better in a year. £11.95-£12.99, SWIG, D Byrne, Noel Young WoodWinters

Splash out

2007 Contino Rioja Reserva

There's an alluring smoky, liquorice-spicy, scented character to this maturing rioja. A satisfying red for game and pies. £20-£23.49, The Wine Society, Berry Bros, Waitrose
