Exceptional Barossa Valley Shiraz, Australia, 2024
Asda, £9
Barossa Valley Shiraz is one of the great red wines of the world, and the 2024 vintage was a particularly brilliant one – long, warm days with good balance producing richly flavoured, deeply coloured fruit. This is a big, bold, and gloriously indulgent red that pours a deep ruby-purple in the glass and hits you immediately with aromas of dark plum, blackberry, chocolate, and a hint of warm spice – think vanilla, a touch of pepper, and maybe a whisper of liquorice. On the palate it’s rich and full-bodied with soft, velvety tannins that give it a smooth, satisfying weight without being heavy or overpowering. It’s the kind of wine that feels like a proper treat — perfect alongside a Sunday roast, a slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or a good slab of mature cheddar.
A joyful celebration of the humble sausage and its magnificent versatility – the perfect gift for sausage lovers everywhere.

Benevento Falanghina, Italy, 2025
Lidl, £7.99
A beautifully fragrant white wine from the sun-baked hills of southern Italy, and it’s one of those hidden gems that wine lovers get genuinely excited about. In the glass it’s a pretty pale gold, and the aromas are lovely – acacia blossom, dried apricot, and a waft of candied citrus that draws you straight in. On the palate it’s fresh and lively, with flavours of ripe lemon, apple, a touch of pineapple, and a little bit of honeysuckle, all balanced by a clean, mineral edge that stops it from feeling too sweet or heavy. It’s dry, easy-drinking, and has just enough character to feel interesting without being complicated. This is the kind of wine that goes brilliantly with a plate of seafood pasta, a Caprese salad with buffalo mozzarella, or simply on its own as a chilled glass on a warm evening – proper Italian sunshine in a bottle.
Over 100 recipes – some achievable in minutes, others more sophisticated and ideal for special occasion – all worthy of a restaurant but accessible enough to share at home with family and friends.

Newlands Point Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand, 2024
Sainsbury’s, from £7
A bright, fresh white wine from New Zealand that’s bursting with fruity flavours – zesty lemon, ripe gooseberry, and a hint of passionfruit, with a lovely floral aroma when you first pour it. It’s light, crisp, and easy to drink, with just enough sharpness to make your mouth water and a clean, refreshing finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. At 12.5% alcohol it won’t knock you sideways, and it pairs brilliantly with a piece of grilled fish, a prawn salad, or just a sunny afternoon and a good chat.

Taste The Difference Gemischter Satz, Austria, 2025
Sainsbury’s, £10
Gemischter Satz is a genuinely unique Austrian wine where several grape varieties are grown and harvested together in the same vineyard — an ancient tradition that produces something you won’t find anywhere else. The result is a pale, fresh, and lively white with aromas of apple, lime, and blossom, and a clean, crisp palate with gentle orchard fruit and a mineral edge. It’s dry and elegant without being complicated, and pairs beautifully with light pasta, chicken, or cheese.
