Terry Kirby selects the best bottles to buy

Sunday lunch
Old Bush Vine Grenache Yalumba 2012
Still surviving Dry January? Treat yourself to these high-street gems for 1 February as a reward. First, from aged Barossa Valley vines, there is a lovely balance here between a meaty, intense structure and juicy, spicy red-fruit flavours coupled with a nice long finish. For steak or a beef casserole. £10.99 (each for two bottles as part of purchase of six mixed bottles; normally £13.74), majestic.co.uk
Midweek meal
Red and Black Agiorgitiko Nemea 2012
A brilliant modern Greek red, showcasing the huge potential of the country for making great wine. Vibrant and fruit-driven, but with serious layers of flavour and intriguing soft smokiness. Make a proper moussaka – Greek comfort food – to go with it. £8.99, Marks &Spencer
Bargain basement
Saint-Roch Côtes Du Roussillon 2012
More Grenache here, in its home in the sunny south of France and paired with Syrah to create a very approachable, very traditional blend from the region: medium-bodied, dark fruits, some touches of spice and herbs. A more or less perfect everyday wine. £6.99, Morrisons
