Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Île-de-Beauté rosé
The Independent's wine columnist, Rosamund Hall, recommended this rosé from Sainsbury’s remarking: “While the nose may be a little restrained, there's an abundance of flavour and excitement on the palate in this dry, delicate rosé.”
It’s great value at £10.50 – even better, it qualifies in Sainsbury’s offer of 25 per cent off six or more bottles.
Graham Beck chardonnay pinot noir
A name that is frequently recommended by wine experts, Graham Beck’s brut sparkling wine combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes to promise light yeasty aromas, limey fresh fruit on the nose and rich creamy complexity on the palate.
Tempted? You can receive 25 per cent off this wine when you buy six or more bottles.
Mirabeau Pure Côtes De Provence rosé wine
Wine expert Tom Gilbey recommended the Mirabeau pure Provence rosé. “Not only does this taste zesty, zippy and refreshing, it looks ravishing too… and that’s got to be what rosé is all about,” he explains.
“It’s a beautiful coral pink and leaps out of the glass with bright strawberry, citrus and floral notes. It’s a cracker, and a bit show off – what's not to love?”
Right now, Sainsbury’s is offering 25 per cent off when you buy six or more bottles.
Trivento Malbec reserve red wine
If you’re after a rich red, look no further than the Trivento Malbec reserve red wine, which is described as a full-bodied Malbec with intense aromas of black fruit, violets and vanilla, with a subtle warming spice imparted from oak aging. It’s vegan and comes with the Certified B Corporation label – plus right now, there’s money off.
Newlands Point sauvignon blanc white wine
If the bank holiday calls for a crisp white, the Newlands Point sauvignon blanc white wine ticks the boxes. Now discounted, the fruity white has an aromatic nose of citrus blossom and mandarin, and is packed with vibrant notes of lemon, stone fruit, gooseberry, and passionfruit, according to the retailer.
