Night in
2013 The Exquisite Collection Rias Baixas Albariño

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

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
