WINE LIST

All these wines are great value – but remember, you get what you pay for

- MATTHEW JUKES’

2019 SOAVE, VENETO, ITALY

This lovely soave brings clean, cucumber-fresh flavours and a brisk, tangy finish into your lives – at spectacula­r value, for only a fiver. Now consider that the VAT percentage, the wine duty, the bottle, cap and label all cost the same as the No.8

[see below] and get ready for a wine tasting!

2019 M&S CLASSICS, NO.8 SOAVE CLASSICO, VENETO, ITALY

The crucial difference between these two soaves from M&S is the cost of the grapes in the bottles, as everything else is a level playing field. This fruit is smoother and sexier. But the question is, which do you prefer? Enjoy with the Griddled Halloumi With Seasonal Veg & Harissa.

2019 VENTOUX ROSÉ, CHASSAUX ET FILS, FRANCE

Aldi is a low-margin outfit and this rosé is a little different to the masses in style, given it is a foodier, more robust fellow. Structured and dry, and rather more like a light red in stature, it is a demon with the Tuna Nicoise With

Charred Fennel dish.

The Wine Society is famed for low margins and this Spanish red would be north of £10 elsewhere. Valencia’s bobal grape makes it a treat, loaded with blueberry and plum notes, and minty highlights!
