- CHOSEN BY VICTORIA DASKAL, HELENA NICKLIN & DAVID WILLIAMS

M&S, Finca Miguel Cava Brut, Catalonia, Spain NV

£7.50 Marks & Spencer

While Cava producers chafe against the 'cheap and cheerful' tag, it remains true that they make some very good-value fizz. This classic blend of traditional varieties made by Jaume Serra, with its intensely tangy, lime-on-toast character, is very much a case in point. DW Alcohol 11%

M Chapoutier, Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Blanc, Côtes du Roussillon, France 2023

£11.75-£14.50 Evington's, Noble Grape, NY Wines, The Vinorium

This full-bodied, richly flavoured and complex wine combines beeswax, liquorice and white chocolate notes with a freshness and salinity that keeps you coming back for more. HN Alc 13.5%

Antigal, Uno Chardonnay, Mendoza, Argentina 2025

£12 Tesco

Despite the heavy packaging and unsightly and unnecessary metal label, this is an excellent wine, balancing tropical and stone fruit ripeness with bright lemon citrussy freshness, the palate given extra volume by six months in French oak. DW Alc 13.5%

Funkstille, Grüner Veltliner, Niederösterreich, Austria 2024

£12.69-£14.99 Widely available via UK agent Alliance Wine

Crisp and dry, with ripe pear, melon and citrus aromas. The palate is bright and zesty, layered with grapefruit, honeysuckle and pineapple. Refreshing, lively and thoroughly enjoyable. VD Alc 12%

Von Kesselstatt, Schloss Marienlay Riesling Kabinett, Mosel, Germany 2023

£12.50 Coop

Finely detailed and expressive, opening with ripe tropical fruit and lime skin tones, before settling into a brisk, enlivening palate, where dashing, silvery, fine-line acidity meets a cushion of sugar that allows for mild, chilli-spicy food-matching opportunities. DW Alc 10.5%

Coop, Irresistible English Bacchus, Kent, England 2023

£13 Coop
