Yalumba's refreshingly crisp, gooseberryish sauvignon blanc from a sheep station in the Australian Riverland region is reduced by £1 to make an affordable and appetising summer thirstquencher.

Under a tenner: Jacquart Brut Mosaïque, £9.99 Majestic (reduced from £20.99 until Thursday)

A rich, chardonnay-based co-operative champagne with soft, foaming mousse and light, biscuity flavours. Surprise your friends with your newfound affluence by offering this bargain fizz.

Splash out: 2002 Two Hands Picture Series Brave Faces Shiraz Grenache, £13.99, www.sainsburys.co.uk

If you liked last summer's Two Hands Painted Faces Shiraz, here comes an equally fine Barossa Valley blend of shiraz and grenache, with sumptuously spicy, generously rich, peppery fruitiness.
