Mid-Week
Wines

A lovely Languedoc Viognier and a great value Cabernet Sauvignon.

It is often revealing to see how wines from the same producer differ as they ascend the price ladder – especially with the large players in the game. Today we do this with McGuigan’s chardonnay.

A stand-out Pinotage for less than £5 and a juicy Chenin Blanc.

Today’s “Sunday Best” selection has something for most tastes – from a delightful Macon white to a New Zealand Riesling and from fabulous Languedoc red to great value Madeira.

An aromatic Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand’s North Island and a smooth organic Italian red.

Next month sees the shooting season start in earnest but game is not the only food that works with Rhȏne wine – and those wines don’t have to be expensive.

A revived Italian white and an intensely fruity Australian red are among my supermarket stars this week.

See what glitters among the new wine arrivals (from assyrtiko to viognier) in Aldi but including – unusually for us – a very pleasant gin.

A delicate new world Rosé and a full-bodied Cȏtes du Rhȏne Villages for £8 and under.

Despite being one of Europe’s most advanced countries for online wine shopping, the UK is still missing some great wines that are available that way. Pick of the Clicks helps you avoid missing out
