Errazuriz Wild Ferment Chardonnay 2009, Co-op, down from 9.99 to 6.99 to January 4: If you are looking for something to go with your starter or even main course on Christmas Day then this is a good option. Soft, elegant fruit with complexity and only a touch of gentle oak make this a versatile and enjoyable wine.

Concha y Toro Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2007 Tesco 5.99 or down to 4.79 at Majestic on multibuy: Crisp, citrussy and refreshing this is too light to go with traditional Christmas puddings but it is fabulous with fruit salads, caramelised oranges and even a raspberry-topped Pavlova.

Noval 10 year old Tawny Port, Waitrose, down from 17.25 to 14.59 until January 4: Every household needs a bottle of port at Christmas and this one is full of figs, nuts and orange zest. Chill it for an hour before serving with cheese, chocolate or the afternoon film.

De Bortoli Show Reserve Liqueur Muscat NV, Majestic down from 13.99 to 10.00 on multibuy: Make sure you have booked your space on the sofa after a glass of this heavenly, rich, sticky, figgy wine. Team it with the pud or just pour over ice cream.
