KNACKERED MOTHERS’ WINE CLUB
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
