Montgolfiers Sauvignon Blanc, Gros Manseng, Vin de Pays, Tesco down from 6.99 to 5 until November 30 Bright, lime-soaked gooseberry fruit with a touch of serious depth from Gros Manseng makes this more than just an aperitif wine. Drink with fish, goat's cheese and chicken.

Rioja Bodegas Age 2008, Marks and Spencer, down from 6.99 to 4.99 until October 31 At this price, a terrific mid-week, smooth-edged slurper to go with supper. Team it with grilled lamb chops, moussaka and pasta.

Yaldara Shiraz 2009, Australia, Tesco down from 9.99 to 4.99 until November 2 Seriously challenged at its full price, this reaches its comfort zone on offer and provides warming autumn fruit with a smattering of spice and a long creamy finish.

Rioja Reserva 2006 Cune, Majestic, down from 13.99 to 9.59 on multibuy A definite two notches up in quality from the M&S Rioja, with smooth elegance and peppery complexity. A weekend wine to enjoy with a rosemary-spiked leg of lamb.
