SO Organic Chenin Blanc 2019, South Africa, 13% Sainsbury down from £8 to £6.50 until 21 January

Wines don’t get better credentials than this – Organic, Fairtrade and with no added sulphur – and it tastes good too.  Crisp, bright and fresh.

Great Southern Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Western Australia, 13%, Marks and Spencer down from 9 to £8 until 27 January

Vibrant tropical fruit, backed by clear gooseberry freshness.  Perfect with a pile of lettuce leaves and even grilled fish.

Errazuriz Merlot 2018 Chile, 13.5%, Tesco down from £9 to £7 until 20 January

Full of soft bramble and cassis flavours. Stock up for Saturday quality drinking at a mid-week price.

Rustenberg John X Merriman 2017 Stellenbosch, South Africa, 14.5%, Waitrose down from £15.99 to £11.99 until 21 January

Worth stockpiling for later. Classic Bordeaux grapes provide deep cassis and mocha flavours with supple tannins.  A Sunday lunch wine.
