This won't be the cheapest New World sticky you'll come across, but it is worth the outlay. Young but wonderfully rich and unctious, with orange marmalade, honey, lime and sherbert fruit. (ABV 11%) £17.95 (375ml) Philglass & Swiggot (020 7924 4494)
Red wine from France's Loire Valley. Lots of pure aromas with notes of green pepper, red cherry fruit and black pepper. Very firm structure with some savoury characters and supported by high acidity. Green pepper notes on finish. (ABV 12.5%) £9.50 Le Caviste, Hampshire (01256 771080)
Cheery, accessible red with a sleek, vibrant, summer fruit coulis nose. It's no less vital in the mouth, with further red fruit enlivening the palate, which has freshness in abundance and leafy touches towards the finish. (ABV 13%)
£9.99 Corks Out, Stockton Heath, 01925 267700
Made from 108-year-old vines, this red wine is not your typical Beaujolais-Villages - it offers much more complexity and characters, is well-balanced, and has finesse and purity on the finish. Lovely red aromas on the nose. (ABV 12.5%) £13.95 Le Caviste, Hampshire (01256 771080)
A beautiful gold coloured German Riesling, with pear and apricot aromas and lots of minerality. High acidity with a nice purity on the palate, dried apricot with hint of honey, and a fine minerality on the finish. (ABV 7.5%) £20.99 The Sampler, Islington (020 7226 8500)
A Soave with plenty going for it. There's a fantastic complexity to this fleshy, almost succulent wine, with orange blossom, sweet white fruit and flecks of pepper all standing out. (ABV 12.5%)
