From New Zealand

Mount Bluff Brut Rosé

Perhaps it's a small party rather than dinner for two, in which case try this, made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Zesty, crisp raspberry and redcurrant flavours; lovely with canapés or a fruit tart. £11 (until 7 March, normally £13), Marks & Spencer

From England

Camel Valley Pinot Noir Rosé Brut

More crisp raspberry Pinot flavours here in a justly garlanded bottle from Cornwall, overlaid with the distinctive ambience of a West Country spring – think strawberries, cream and mowed lawns. £24.99, Waitrose (until 16 February, normally £28.99)

From France

Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut NV

The Valentine's Day discounts are being extended to Mother's Day, so it's a good time to stock up on premium fizz; the refined red berry and brioche flavours of Laurent-Perrier can enhance any special moment. £43.99 (until 15 March, normally £58.99), Waitrose; £45, Sainsbury's (until 16 February, normally £58); £49.99, Majestic (as part of six mixed bottles; normally £59.99)
