The Best Minervois Blanc, France, N/VA dry German white from the Pfalz region made from the aromatic Scheurebe grape on limestone soils, offering a fresh, summery profile with summer orchard blossom, crisp green apple, and nectarine, plus a touch of lees-derived texture that adds depth; it’s 12% alcohol, performs well for its price, and pairs nicely with light dishes like a summery cobb salad, seafood, or goat cheese, standing out as an aromatic, citrusy alternative to Riesling that's more fruit-forward and crisp than many familiar German whites. |
Found Scheurebe, Germany, 2025A still white wine made exclusively for Marks & Spencer by winemaker Gerd Stepp in Germany's Pfalz region, where it comes from limestone soils and is crafted from the often-overlooked Scheurebe grape -a Riesling cross known for aromatic precision. It's 12% alcohol, rich and aromatic, with a nose of summer orchard blossom leading into crisp green apple and nectarine, plus notable texture and depth from lees contact (spent yeast cells). The wine overdelivers for its price at £9.00 (75cl), is suitable for vegans, and is best enjoyed chilled within 3 years of purchase. |

The Gen 6 label is Bethany's signature line (also used for their Gen 6 Shiraz and Gen 6 Shiraz-Cabernet), and while the 2021 Gen 6 Old Vine Grenache was noted for simple red berry fruit with jammy notes, candied violets, and plum, the 2023 vintage continues this old-vine style with dark cherry and floral character. |

The 2025 rosé is a delicate blend of Grenache and Cinsault (sometimes Grenache and Syrah, depending on the label variant), sourced from schist-dominated soils that lend a subtle minerality, and is fermented at low temperatures (14–16°C) in stainless steel to preserve delicate fruit. It features bright aromas of red berry fruit, floral honeysuckle, and citrus, with a pale pink colour, light and crisp palate, refreshing acidity, and a long, delicate finish; alcohol is 12.5% in a 75cl bottle with a screwcap closure. It's certified sustainable (High Environmental Value), vegan-friendly, ideal as an aperitif or with Mediterranean cuisine like salads and seafood (especially shellfish), and is great value at around £8.00–£9.25 (Clubcard price at Tesco). |

Exceptional Barossa Valley Shiraz, Australia, 2024Barossa 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. |

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. |
Newlands Point Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand, 2024A 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.

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, 2025Gemischter 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.

Toki Suntory Whisky, Japan Suntory Toki – meaning “time” in Japanese – is a modern blended whisky built from Suntory’s lighter malt and grain components, designed to fit contemporary drinking habits whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or in the classic Japanese highball. It draws from three prestigious distilleries: Hakushu, Yamazaki, and Chita. Fourth Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo made the inspired choice to anchor the blend around Hakushu American white oak cask malt – prized for its freshness and green apple notes — complemented by Chita heavy-type grain whisky, which adds a clean sweetness and vanilla character. On the nose it’s bright and immediately friendly – fresh green apple and lemon peel jump out first, followed by white grape and a soft floral lift, with a gentle sweetness of honey and vanilla underneath. The finish is smooth and medium-length, leaving fruit and raisin notes with vanilla and oak, and a lingering white pepper spice on the tail end. The texture is light but not watery, making it ideal for those still learning how to pick flavours apart. At 43% ABV and available at Waitrose from £28, at a time when Japanese whisky is often spoken about in hushed, reverent tones with prices creeping ever upward, Suntory Toki exists to counter that narrative making it one of the most accessible and enjoyable entry points into the world of Japanese whisky. |

About Saturday Kitchen Wines
Saturday Kitchen is the highly popular weekly BBC cooking show where chefs make delicious dishes of food and wine-experts present paired wines.
The show’s wine experts, including Ollie Smith and Helen McGinn, carefully select wines that complement each dish. They help viewers explore great wines at different price points. Our page collects all these featured wines in one place, including tasting notes, origin, price, and recipe pairings.
Why Follow These Recommendations
The wines on Saturday Kitchen? Spot on every time for what they’re cooking that week. Grab one of their picks and you’re basically nailing dinner at home, no second-guessing. Crisp white with seafood. Robust red for lamb. Bubbles when you need to celebrate. This list hands you the right bottle, whatever the meal. I learned this the hard way once – bought a random “decent red” for roast instead of their pick. Disaster. Never again. Here’s where it might go wrong: that exact bottle sells out fast. Grab something close in style instead.
