Fish Hoek Chenin Blanc 2009, South Africa, Tesco down from 6.79 to 5 until October 5 Bright, zesty tropical fruit style with guava, pineapple and a touch of honey. Drink this with fish, salads and chicken.

Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Chile, Sainsbury down from 6.99 to 4.66 Part of the Sainsbury Wine Festival which sees some terrific offers across the range, Casillero is a brand which over-delivers on flavour. Dense, blackcurrant fruit with a touch of spice.

Rustenberg John X Merriman 2007, South Africa, Waitrose, down from 11.49 to 8.99 until September 21 Well worth its full price; snap up this terrific Bordeaux-style blend while it is on offer. Rich, soft, ripe plum and cassis fruit with elegant tannins, and a long finish.

Cloudy Bay Pelorus Brut sparkling wine, New Zealand, Waitrose, down from 18.99 to 14.99 until September 21 Consistently good, this quality fizz is made using the traditional in-bottle fermentation method, from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, aged two years on the lees.
