After all, your best cuts of meat, skewered kebabs and burgers laced with all the trimmings deserve a lip-smacking red to satisfy a thirst for something super delicious - and fire up those flavours.

Here's what's on our hot list...

1. Co-op Fairtrade Organic Malbec 2023, Argentina, £8.50, Co-op, in-store only

How much do we love the mighty malbec? Especially when the BBQ King (or Queen) appreciates one of the key ingredient's for their smoky affair... a crowd-pleasing red to enhance those enticing woodchip flavours. Perfumed with signature violet and plummy notes, succulent fruit accented with soft spice and smooth, firm finish.
