Wine: Something for the weekend?
Under £5
2008 Casillero del Diablo Shiraz Rosé
Forget hothouse Spanish berries and enjoy instead the summer-pudding fruitiness of this spring-like, new- vintage Chilean pink. £4.66, down from £6.99, Sainsbury's, until 17 March
Under £10
2005 Bourgogne Blanc, Buisson-Battault
An affordable yet exceptional white burgundy thanks to a degree of complexity and flavour from the stirring of lees in barrel, which brings mealy characters to the baked-apple, fruity qualities. £9.99, Majestic

2006 John Duval Entity Shiraz
This shiraz displays a pure quality of blackberry fruit tempered by pepper; drinking now, though it will cellar nicely for 10 years. £17.95-£20.99, Bennetts Fine Wines (01386 840392), Cooden Cellars (01323 649663)
