Lot Series Redwood Hills Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Marlborough, New Zealand, 13%, Aldi  £7.99

Fresh, zesty, gooseberry-infused flavours in this single vineyard Sauvignon.  Newly arrived for the autumn season so stock up when you see it.

Taste the Difference Côtes du Jura Chardonnay 2017, France, 12%, Sainsbury, down £11 to £9 until 29 October

Unlike any other Chardonnay you have tasted.  Delicate floral notes with a peachy palate, then pure, linear, minerally power.  Team it with shellfish.

Ch. Gillet 2018 Bordeaux, France, 13%, Marks and Spencer down from £8.50 to £8 until 4 November

Only a small reduction but this wine is well worth its full price.  It has juicy cassis flavours with just enough structure to stand up to Sunday lunch.

Cairanne Cru des Rhône Réserve Hospitaliers 2017, France, 14%, Waitrose down from £11.79 to £8.79 until 5 November

Full of rich-tasting, spice-dusted dark forest fruit that goes well with a rib of beef or an autumn casserole.
