Night in

2013 The Exquisite Collection Rias Baixas Albariño

This dry Spanish white from the Galician coast shows a nice fresh peachy nose with a hint of pepperiness, and a tongue-tingling zestiness on the aftertaste. £5.99, Aldi

Dinner party

2013 6285 Margaret River Chardonnay

An aromatic note of nutty, lees-stirred complexity and peachy fruitiness supported by subtle oaking and zesty acidity make for a beautifully balanced Aussie dry white. £12.99, M&S

Splash out

2010 Ricasoli Rocca Guicciarda Chianti Classico Riserva

A touch of merlot brings a smooth succulence to the intense, cherry fruit whose refreshing backbone makes this an inviting Tuscan red. £14, down from £17.99, Sainsbury's
