In need of last-minute reds for the Christmas table? I’ve got four supermarket bottles that deliver on quality and flavour – the kind that make ‘just one more’ inevitable. A Bourgogne Pinot Noir and Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc are lighter, lower-tannin styles – lovely with turkey, game or veggie dishes – while the South African Bordeaux blend and Montepulciano bring a fuller, more structured feel perfect for meat dishes or strong cheese.

Perfumed and pure, with bright cherry, a floral lift and fine mineral edge. A charming lighter red to pour with a nut roast or roasted veg.

Full, expressive and luxurious with dark berry fruit and sweet spice – a warming Tuscan red that’s perfect with classic porchetta or slow-roasted meats.

Polished and plush with cassis, tobacco and gentle toasty oak. Classic Bordeaux character at a fraction of the price, this is ideal with beef Wellington or rib roast.

Supple with ripe red berries, forest floor and silky tannins – an elegant, savoury Pinot Noir ideal for turkey or duck with cranberry sauce.
