Flagstone Noon Gun White 2009, South Africa, Tesco, down from 6.99 to 5.49 until April 6. A fresh-tasting crisp and tangy blend of Chenin, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, perfect for the first days of spring.

Concha y Toro Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Chile, Booths, 2006 down from 5.99 to 3.99 until April 17. Grab a load of this delicious sweetie which looks like it is being cleared off Booths' shelves. Full of crystallised lemon zest flavours, with perfectly balanced sweetness.

Marqus de Monistrol, Premium Cuve Ros Cava, Co-op down from 11.99 to 5.99 until April 13. Seriously challenged at its full price (most people sell it at 8.99), but worthy picking up at its offer price. Good strawberry fruit and a crisp, creamy palate.
