Under a fiver: 2003 Errazuriz Estate Chardonnay, Casablanca. Reduced from £5.99 to £4.49 until 22 June, Sainsbury's

A refreshingly crisp, chablis-style Chilean chardonnay. The Casablanca Valley's cool climate gives an appealing dry, tropically fruity wine with crisp, grapefruity acidity but at an everyday price.

Under a tenner: 2000 Casa Girelli Virtuoso, Primitivo di Puglia, £9.99, D Byrne (01200 423152), Amps Fine Wines (01832 273502), Oddbins Fine Wine

Spicy and aromatic, its deep, rich, damson-plum fruit flavour is enhanced by vanilla oak from the cask. Try it with meat-based pasta sauces.

Splash out: 2002 Guigal Condrieu, £23.03, Tesco

There's viognier and viognier. This is the genuine Condrieu article from Marcel Guigal in the northern Rhône. Scented with jasmine and apricot, it has rich, peachy fruit combining powerful flavours with the floral delicacy of the variety.
