RED WINE of the week
The Co-Operative, Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina 2008 From the Luján de Cuyo sub-region of Mendoza, this Malbec has plenty of appeal, with uplifting, fresh, plum fruit at its core and a touch of hedgerow fruit as well. It's not too sweet - indeed there's a savoury facet - with a touch of tannic bite adding more of a serious edge. (15.5 points) £7.99 Co-op stores (0161 827 5358)
WHITE WINE of the week
Louis Jadot, Mâcon-Villages, Burgundy, France 2008 With the image of Bacchus adorning its labels, Jadot is one of the most recognised French 'brands'. This gives what you would expect from a Mâcon-Villages, with its clear, bright, white fruit, touches of apple, pineapple and slighty leesy undertones. An enjoyable glass. (15.5 points) £9.59 Booth's supermarkets (01772 251 701), Budgens Stores (020 8422 9511), www.everywine.co.uk, Whole Foods Market, London (020 7368 4500)
