KNACKERED MOTHERS’ WINE CLUB

- BY HELEN McGINN

BARGAIN OF THE WEEK

Fuzion Winemaker’s selection Malbec, £7.29 (normally £11.29), Waitrose

PROPERLY good Malbec from Argentina made by one of the best producers and it’s an absolute steal. Juicy and bold with buckets of black plum and raspberry fruit flavours.

WHITE WINE

Tesco Finest Marlboroug­h sauvignon blanc, £8, Tesco

IF you want a taste of Spring, then stick your nose in a glass of this. You’ll smell cut grass, gooseberri­es and passion fruit. A true Sauvignon Blanc at a fraction of the price.

FOOD PAIRING: Fishcakes

RED WINE

asda extra special barolo 2013, £16.98, asda

THIS might look pale and interestin­g in the glass compared with most reds but in the mouth it’s a monster. Made from the Nebbiolo grape, aged in oak casks for three years, it’s rich with dark cherry flavours, spice and a touch of herbs.

FOOD PAIRING: Slow roast lamb

SPARKLING WINE

Colle Del Principe valdobbiad­ene Prosecco superiore, £14, M&s

MADE from the Glera grape in the Veneto region in Italy, this prosecco is drier than most with lovely soft pear and white peach flavours. Fresh, light and perfectly frothy.

FOOD PAIRING: Crisps and dips

HoMeMaDe Cocktails by Helen McGinn (£10.99, Robinson) is available now
