KNACKERED MOTHERS’ WINE CLUB

BARGAIN OF THE WEEK This Loves . . . Sangiovese 2017, £4.99, Aldi

A REALLY pleasant surprise for a fiver. Made from the grapes of Chianti, this has been put together for Aldi with the help of Master of Wine Sam Caporn. Full of gorgeous black cherry fruit together with a herby twist. Drink with pizza or pasta.

WHITE WINE Tesco Finest Cotes de Gascogne, £6.50

THIS perfect autumnal white is a blend of the grapes Gros Manseng and Colombard from Gascony, south west France. So full of gorgeous green apple flavours, it almost crunches when you take a sip.

FOOD PAIRING: Roast chicken.

ROSE WINE Muga Rosado 2017, £9.99, Waitrose

REDS from Rioja might get all the attention but there’s a good bunch of rosés and this is one of my favourites. Made from the Grenache grape, it’s bright and light with juicy redcurrants and a dash of citrus.

FOOD PAIRING: Tapas.

SPARKLING WINE Champagne Delacourt Vintage Brut 2008, £35, M&S

IF YOU are looking for a good vintage champagne without a hefty price tag, this is a savvy option. Made from 100 pc Chardonnay, it is sleek and smart with rich toasty flavours and citrus fruits.

FOOD PAIRING: Smoked salmon.
