Val de Loire Sauvignon Blanc 2018, France, 11.5%, Marks and Spencer down from £7 to £6 until 2 March

Bright, crisp and breezy with a citrus twist and a minerally finish.  Team this with fish.

Cave de Beblenheim, Kleinfels Riesling 2017, 12%, Waitrose down from £10.99 to £8.99 until 18 February

Give your tastebuds a treat and try a Riesling. Fresh as a daisy wine with floral edges, this is just perfect with baked salmon, poached chicken or a prawn and chilli stir-fry.

Viñalba Malbec 2017, Argentina, 14.5% Morrisons down from £9.50 to £8 until 18 February

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

Côtes du Rhône Rouge, Guigal 2016, France, 14%, Tesco down from £12 to £10 until 24 February

Snap up this deep-flavoured, ripe, spicy wine while it is on offer.  It will drink well now and all through next year.  Terrific flavour for money.
