Off the shelf

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

Yali Merlot Ros 2009, Chile, Majestic, down from 5.99 to 4.99 on multibuy until August 30. This comes from Ventisquero, one of Chile's most environmentally friendly wineries where carbon offset, waste water recycling, wetland conservation and lightweight bottles are all part of the operation. And the wine tastes good too.

El Cayado, Bierzo, Spain, Oddbins 8.99. You need to buy a mixed case from Oddbins to get the special deal price (7.19) on this wine, but it is well worth its full price with deep chunky, cherry and plums fruit and a mere hint of oak. Drink it with grilled meat and pasta.

Yorkshire Terrier Bitter, Morrisons 1.67 500ml. New on the shelves at Morrisons, this award-winning premium bitter has a rich, creamy palate with a dry hoppy, refreshing finish.

Taittinger Brut Reserve, Booths, down from 31.99 to 21.99 starting on May 26 until June 20. The next-best deal I have seen for Taittinger is 3 more than this Booths offer, and stocks will probably be limited so stake your claim as soon as you can.
