GRAB A BARGAIN
• Tesco Australian Merlot 2017, South Eastern Australia (£4.15) Soft and easy-going, and spot-on for an early autumn party, with bags of red cherry and strawberry. Bangers and mash suit it, too.
• Extra Special Primitivo 2016, Puglia, Italy (£6.75, Asda) A softly spiced red, with clove and cinnamon spices mingling with prune and blackcurrant notes. One for a lamb tagine.
• Canto Real Verdejo 2017, Spain (£6, Morrisons) A keenly priced verdejo from Spain’s exciting Rueda region. Fresh and juicy with peachy fruit flavours and a zingy citrus peel finish.
FRIDAY SPECIAL
• Definition Grüner Veltliner 2017, Niederösterreich, Austria (£10.99, or £8.99 as part of a mixed six, Majestic) With tangy grapefruit and lemon, and a twist of white pepper, it’s a dry white made for sole or scallops.
• Angelito…
