A pretty pink wine...perfect for the garden.

Le Rose, Saint Auriol, Reserve £6.69 Lunch in the garden? Sit back and enjoy the good weather with this pretty pale pink from Claude Vialade, the "femme du vin", at just £6.69. It has lively fresh fruit flavours and a crisp dry finish making it the perfect choice for a hot day. Good with food or on its own, it is a wine very evocative of southwest France. With strong feminine figures hitting the headlines more and more, here is a woman making some great wines. Claude is the owner and founder fo Domaines Auriol, also makers of The Maison...

Pinot Grigio, Vivolo di Sasso £6.49 Italy means history, art and architecture. Being Italian is about much more than simply being part of a nation: it is a way of thinking, creating, living...and of course eating and drinking! As the summer heats up, our Pinot Grigio is perfect for embracing the Italian lifestyle. Serve seriously chilled, it's a fresh all rounder with gentle elderflower and lemon fruit.

Serve up an ace...strawberries with sparkle!

Cremant de Loire, Brut Rose, Langlois Chateau £12.99 With Wimbledon underway it's time to sit back with strawberries and cream...so why not add some sparkle with our favourite Cremant. The Brut Rose is fresh with fine bubbles and fruitiness. An elegant and delicious fizz made entirely with hand-picked Cabernet Franc grapes.

Did you know...As Wimbledon goes through a lot of balls every year, instead of throwing the used balls straight in the bin, they are sent to Surrey Wildlife Trust. They are used as an alternative home...

A touch of French sunshine

Horgelus Colombard- Sauvgnon £6.69, La Valse des Mansengs £7.99 As the days get warmer, we love to relax with these two French wines from Horgelus. The Colombard-Sauvignon is an exquisite marriage of two grapes making a refreshing wine bursting with flavours. A mixture of citrus, floral and exotic aromas hit the palate. With its soft finish it is perfect as an aperitif and with any fish or seafood dishes. La Valse des Mansengs is also a blend of two grapes, Gros and Petit Mansengs. This is a rich and complex dry white wine. A dash of Sauvignon Blanc is added...
