Fourth Dimension Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Adelaide Hills, Australia, 13.5%, Aldi £7.99 

From the breezy, cool-climate hills just north of Adelaide, this is a zesty, bright wine, full of gooseberry and passion fruit.

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2018, France, 13%, Marks and Spencer down from £9 to £8 until 2 December

Good value even at its full price, this is a rounded, balanced, white peach and citrus-filled wine. Dinner party stuff.

Warwick Cape Lady Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, South Africa, 13.5%, Morrisons, down from £8.50 to £6.50 until 26 November

A smooth, supple wine, packed with bramble fruit, spice and herbs.  Team with roast meats.

The Footbolt Shiraz d’Arenberg 2017, South Australia, 14.5%, Tesco down from £12 to £10 until 9 December

A new addition to Tesco’s shelves and well worth a try.  Concentrated, complex and chewy, packed with dense damson fruit, tobacco and pepper.
