Choosing wine for its country of origin has its advantages, and we have a superb range, for example, a Sauvignon or Malbac from Argentina. The USA exports from its many Californian vineyards, or Australia has modern appeal without being expensive - with labels such as Shiraz, Zinfandel and Merlot.

New Zealand’s vintages include a Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Chardonnay, strong competition for French white burgundy. Perhaps you prefer wines from sunny Spain - why not try a Tempranillo from the Navarra region with fruity tones, ideal with a main course?

Alternatively, South African vineyards offer their famous Chenin Blanc, Chardonnays and many more. France invariably delights with a diverse range and is a top producer famed both for quantity and quality - while Italy exports all varieties too.
