KNACKERED MOTHERS’ WINE CLUB

- BY HELEN McGINN

BARGAIN OF THE WEEK

Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc, £6 (normally £8), Tesco A MELON and gooseberry kind of white that’s riper and rounder than most Marlboroug­h Sauvignon Blancs thanks to a ton of Chilean sun ripening the grapes.

ROSÉ

Paparuda Rosé, Estate Selection 2014, £6.50, tanners-wines.co.uk PROPERLY refreshing rosé made by one of the most exciting producers in Romania from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and the more unusual Feteasca Neagra grapes. It’s pink, but not too pink.

FOOD PAIRING: Winter salad.

RED

Trizanne Signature Grenache/Shiraz 2013, £9.99, Waitrose A GORGEOUS, juicy red from South Africa’s Swartland region made by one of the newer producers. Chief winemaker Trizanne Barnard has blended the fruity Grenache grape with the peppery Shiraz grape. One to curl up on the sofa with.

FOOD PAIRING: Bowl of chilli.

NON-ALCOHOLIC

Seedlip, £29.99, selfridges.com THIS was the fastest-selling drink in the Selfridges booze department at Christmas — and it isn’t even alcoholic! It’s a distilled spirit based on botanicals including cloves, barks and citrus peels. Drink it in a tall glass with tonic, ice and a slice.
