RAW Airén Verdejo Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Castilla La Mancha, Spain, 13%, Co-op down from £8 to £7 until 14 May

Sub-headed Really Awesome Wine, this is both organic and vegan.  It has peach and citrus notes with a fresh, lively style.

Taste the Difference Côtes du Rhone White 2018, France, 13%, Sainsbury, down from £8 to £7 until May 21 

Roussanne, Viognier and Grenache Blanc blend that captures fresh, crisp apples, ripe pears and stone fruit, with a rounded, food-friendly texture.  If there are olives in the dish, this is perfect.

Cairanne Cru des Rhône Reserve Hospitaliers 2017, France, 14%, Waitrose down from £11.79 to £8.79 until 14 May

This rich-tasting, spice-dusted, dark forest fruits-filled wine is good value at its full price, so an absolute bargain on offer. Good enough for Sunday lunch, or team with a barbecue.

Lots of chunky damson and raspberry fruit with soft, supple tannins.  Perfect with beef.
