Plaimont Côtes de Gascogne 2018, France, 11.5%, Sainsbury down from £8 to £6.25 until 13 August

Crisp and refreshing with notes of pink grapefruit and lemon. Ideal as an aperitif, or with shellfish.

The Best Muscadet 2018, Loire, France, 12%, Morrisons, down from £8 to £6.50 until 6 August

Apple-fresh with citrus notes and a sea-salty finish.  Team this with grilled fish and scallops.

Miguel Torres Las Mulas Cabernet Sauvignon Organic Rosé 2018, Chile, 13%, Waitrose down from £9.39 to £6.99 until 13 August

Slightly deeper in colour than is strictly fashionable but with enough summer berry fruit to cope with sizzling spiced prawns or cedar-planked salmon.

No oak in this one, just pure unadulterated blackberries, black cherries and smooth, supple tannins.  Team with steak and sausages.
