2007 La Finca Sauvignon Blanc, Mendoza, Finca La Celia, Argentina, Co-op, down £1 to £2.99 until tomorrow.
The Co-op’s tasty Argentinian sauvignon blanc, a star buy if ever there was one, is all mouthwatering zesty, grassy fruit that would be easily worth a fiver.

2006 Stone Road Shiraz, Thierry Boudinaud, Vin de Pays d’Oc, France, Co-op, down £1 to £3.49 until tomorrow.
While in the Co-op, make a beeline for this fine, ripe, spicy, briary, Australian-sounding but distinctively French, almost Rhônesque red made in the Languedoc.

2006 Calder Grove, Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon, South Eastern Australia, Somerfield, down to £4.99 until February 26.
The classic Aussie red wine mix, with shiraz filling in cabernet’s centre, is given a satisfying twist here with lots of fat, juicy, 14 per cent alcohol berry fruit.

2004 Clos de l’Oratoire, Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France, Majestic’s fine wine stores, £19.99.
Order this brilliant bordeaux from your nearest fine wine store and wallow in its fat, velvety, plummy, drink-now 2004 fruit from the bordeaux maestro Stephan von Neipperg.

2005 Domaine de la Janasse, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Majestic’s fine wine stores, £19.99.
2005 was not a great vintage in the southern Rhône but even so this gorgeous ripe, sweet, inky, violet-scented, blackberry and herb, grenache grape-dominant wine has star quality.
