Mâcon-Azé 2009 Louis Jadot, France, Waitrose down from £9.49 to £7.49 until October 12. A terrific wine with floral scents, melon fruit and a soft creaminess on the palate, and no oak cluttering up the flavours. Drink with grilled fish, chicken and just on its own.

La Chasse Shiraz, Vin de Pays d'Oc 2009, Waitrose down from 6.49 to 4.83 until October 12. I grabbed a bottle of this for a midweek supper and was thrilled by its deep, pepper-dusted plummy flavours. Simple, straightforward and great value. Stock up.

Ravenswood Lodi Zinfandel 2008, California, Sainsbury down from 9.49 to 6.99 until November 2. The new vintage of this wine has just arrived and it is on form with rich, thick loganberry fruit, backed by savoury earthy notes and supple ripe tannins.
