GRAB A BARGAIN
• Cimarosa Merlot 2013, South East Australia(£4.49, Lidl) Glows with plump, red berry fruit, with an appealing juicy finish. Cheerful stuff.
• Extra Special Old Vine Garnacha 2014, Cariñena, Spain (£5, Asda) Another steal from Asda’s brilliant Extra Special range. The sturdy black cherry and plum flavours are great with warming game casseroles.
• Miguel Torres Days of Summer 2014, Itata Valley, Chile (£9.99, or£7.49 when you mix and match 6 bottles, Majestic) Succulent, scented off-dry white that recalls warmer months. Think sunny honeysuckle, white peaches and sweet green grapes.
