Here is this week's top pick of good value bottles to savour

Montana Sauvignon Blanc 2009, New Zealand, Asda, down from 8.98 to 4.93 until June 15. This 2009 vintage has just won Gold in the International Wine Challenge. Bright, fresh and full of herbaceous, gooseberry fruit.

Casillero del Diablo Shiraz 2008, Chile, Tesco, down from 6.99 to 5.24 until June 22. Grab this barbecue-friendly Chilean red while it is on offer. Big blackberry fruit, a touch of spiced chocolate and a long soft finish.

Knock on Wood Reserve, 2008, Marks & Spencer, down from 12.99 to 9.75 to July 4. Make the most of this offer by trying this deep-flavoured, plush, blend of Cabernet, Pinotage, Shiraz and Merlot. Fabulous layers of cherry.

Moscato Friesa Vino Spumante, Italy, Marks & Spencer, down from 7.99 to 5.99 until July 4. Low in alcohol (just 6. 5 per cent) so you can pour this all day as you sip it in sunshine. Sweet, but packed with strawberry fruit.
