Here are our recommendations.

Nottage Hill Chardonnay 2011, 13% abv

A full bodied dry wine with tropical and melon flavours. We found a lingering overtone of mild oak on the tongue. Highly drinkable on its own, but why not accompany it with a white meats dish this Sunday? Retails at around £7.99 from main supermarkets 

Hardys Crest Brut Rose, 11.5% abv

This is a pale strawberry coloured sparkling wine made from both red and white grapes. The wine boasts a bouquet of crisp red fruit, and is an easy drinking number. Best described as medium sweet, this is a perfect accompaniment for a girly chat between just you and your mum! Retails at around £13.99 from main supermarkets 

STOWELLS CABERNET MERLOT, 13.5% ABV

This is a Chilean wine, promising a rich experience with a hint of spice. Described as smooth, mellow and fruity. Top notes of blackcurrant fade into a hint of mint. Will perfectly accompany a roast red meat dish such as lamb. Retails at around £7.99 from main supermarkets
