I'm a drinks writer — this £4.85 supermarket white wine is a 'delicious' bargain
I'm a repeat offender… guilty of overlooking white wines in favour of rosé and chillable reds in summertime. Yes, when the sun comes up, I stampede (can one person stampede?) to the rosé aisle like it's the last call for boarding on Ryanair. But it looks like I might be in the minority, as white wine is steadily taking over from red as the world's preferred style. In France, sales of white wine are now overtaking those of red, rosé and orange. That could partly be down to Taylor Swift mentioning white wine 19 times in her albums, but also to changing tastes and the popularity of lighter cuisines, such as South East Asian. According to the latest data from SOWINE/Dynata Wine & Drinks Barometer, here in the UK, we're actively seeking out Sauvignon Blanc when we buy French wine (31% of the 1,000 UK adults surveyed), followed by Merlot (29%), then Chardonnay (26%). Even more surprisingly, 89% of those surveyed said they drink white wine compared to 81% who drink red, which must have red wine producers feeling a bit chaud under the collar. See, red wine has dominated global wine guzzling for more than 30 years, so this white wine renaissance is causing a bit of a stir. Even red-wine-producing powerhouse, Bordeaux, has included new white grapes like Spanish Albariño in a surprisingly non-traditional move. And it's not just the fresher styles people are after, either. Nope, there are still some of us that are closeted lovers of unapologetically big, bold, rich and fruity whites but we keep our traps shut in fear of being shamed by the low-flavour, low alcohol movement that's happening around us. I'm talking Chardonnay in particular. Back in the 90s, buttery Chardonnay from Australia in particular became a lightening rod for cancellation. The ABC Club (Anything but Chardonnay) was joined by millions, and it was also unkindly labelled as 'cougar juice'. That's as outdated as Prosecco once being known as 'lady diesel' (never by me, just to be clear). And although it's unlikely that those oaky, buttery, 15% abv behemoth whites will land back in our good books, I'm thankful that people are looking for well-made white wines with more pronounced flavour and texture again. If you're looking for something new to try, here are 10 delicious wines you can buy from the shops right now, all for under a tenner… This is proof that Chardonnay no longer tastes like it's been made by a carpenter, or put together by a Lurpak dairy farmer. It's light, unoaked, fresh, bright and deliciously peachy, think orchard fruit with squeeze of lemon and you're in the ballpark. A weekday wonder at under a fiver. Don't discount this budget viognier. Why? Because it doesn't need a discount, it's already under £5. Plus, it punches above its price with a pillowy texture and flavours of apricot and honeysuckle. There's more than a whiff of waxy florals on the nose, think walking past a blooming jasmine plant while you're on holiday. Tempranillo Blanco is a natural mutation of regular Tempranillo, you know, the most-widely-grown red grape in Rioja. The white version was literally stumbled upon by a wine grower in the late twentieth century. It delivers a zesty, juicy and vaguely tropical white, with undercurrents of red plum, which I could just be imagining. Three wines in a row from Asda, they must be doing something right. This is a banging (I hate that word) white made from the Spanish Verdejo grape. Bright, citrussy with bags of fresh green apple flavours and a delicious grassy note on the finish. It goes super well with grilled prawns or a corner of Manchego too. I'm forever saying how Chile is one of the best places to find value for money, but this is something else. Made from Chardonnay with a dab of Muscat and Gewurztraminer, it's dry, rich and full of lemon posset and mango skin flavours. No notes (apart from the ones I've given). For lovers of lively whites with good energy, this one feels like you've been plugged into the mains, in a good way. A blend of 60% Colombard, 25% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Gros Manseng, it gives lovely lime and greengage character and a bracingly citrus lip-smack on the finish. Strap yourself in for a richer style of Chardonnay, but rest assured, this is well made. Barossa Valley in South Australia is famous for brawny wines, typical of such a sun-drenched region. Here, we have upfront flavours of ripe yellow peach, toasted hazelnuts and a lick of spice to go with your pork snags on the barbeque. An opulent Italian white with flecks of Mirabelle plum and Mayer lemon, with a distinctive coastal saline note on the finish. It's made entirely from local Italian grapes Trebbiano, Bombino Bianco and Grechetto, and I'm all for championing indigenous varieties. After all, no one can make your own grapes like you can. Capiche? I've never met anyone who doesn't like Viognier; it's plush, pillowy and anything else beginning with 'p', apparently. A great example how approachable this grape can be, all hazelnut brittle, peach and honey, in a dry way. I gave it three stars and put 'v. good value for money' when I first tasted it, so it's definitely worth a whirl. View More » Sometimes, I find Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc so over the top it becomes a cartoon version of itself. Too much passionfruit and gooseberry for its own good. Aldi's is a more restrained style; bone dry, mineral and energetic, with whispers of passionfruit and lime still intact. There's a lovely purity and boat loads of herbaceous intensity.

Wine Club: a summer selection from Corney and Barrow
Lunch at the Academy Club with my wicked chums Mark Slemeck and Charlie Grey was probably not the best preparation for tasting a dozen or so wines for this offer from Corney & Barrow. Mark likes his wine but likes his caipirinhas better and Charlie is more of a Pinot Grigio/Newcastle Brown Ale kind of guy. They both made deep inroads into the academy's list though, declaring each bottle better than the last as they eyed up their next selection. It was a relief when we got booted out and I finally managed to give the boys the slip as they tottered off to the Groucho Club for post-prandials and mischief. I kept my hangover at bay tasting these wonderful wines below and was well into my second wind by the time I got to the Sancerre. I think you'll agree that it's a pretty fine selection. There's a lot of rubbish Picpoul out there, but the 2024 Maison Azan Picpoul de Pinet (1) is anything but. Exclusive to C&B, it's made by Olivier Azan, the first in the region to farm/produce wine organically, and I love it. Fresh, creamy, herbal with a hint, perhaps, of melon and slightly salty, it's delightfully easy-going. £11.93 down from £13.25. The 2024 Weingut Frank Grüner Veltliner (2) is a bang-on example of this most food-friendly of grapes/wines, from tenth generation winemaker Harald Frank in Herrnbaumgarten, Weinviertel, north-east Austria. With plenty of citrus, fresh apple and a touch of spicy pepper (Grüner is known here as 'pfefferl' or 'little peppery one'), it's crisp, clean, fresh and extremely enticing. £13.46 down from £14.95. The 2024 Pazo la Maza Albariño (3) from the most southerly part of Rías Baixas, close to Portugal, is as tasty an Albariño as you'll find. Much less acidic and much peachier than others I've had of late, it's thoroughly enjoyable and, at just 12% vol, it's a perfect Wednesday wine. £14.36 down from £15.95. The delectable, organic/biodynamic 2023 Sancerre Domaine du Nozay (4) is sheer class, produced by former paratrooper, Cyril de Benoist, nephew of Aubert de Villaine, former co-manager of Domaine de Romanée-Conti no less. Rounded and full, with grapefruit, peach and pear, I can't imagine anyone not lapping it up. £23.36 down from £25.95. The 2024 Intipalka Tannat (5) is included not because it's fun to have something from Peru, nor because – as anyone who's read Professor Roger Corder's Wine Diet knows – there's evidence to suggest the moderate consumption of South American Tannat is good for the heart. No, it's included because it's darn good – full, rich, concentrated and succulent, with dark bramble fruit lifted by a refreshing acidity. £11.48 down from £12.75. The 2022 Les Villaises Saumur Champigny (6) is a great summer wine. Made from 100 per cent Cab Franc by the excellent 80-year-old, 40-grower-strong Caves de Saumur co-operative, it can stand a bit of chilling and is full of lively red and dark berry fruit, fine acidity and, above all, freshness. £13.46 down from £14.95. Zweigelt, a crossing between St. Laurent and Blaufrankisch, is Austria's most widely planted red variety, and I drank buckets of it when I was in Vienna the other month. None of them was nearly as good as the 2020 Kracher Zweigelt Trocken (7), brand new to Corney's list and about which they're very excited. With rich, juicy, light-on-its-feet dark fruit, raised in old oak, it's soft, silky and seductive. £15.26 down from £16.95. Finally, the 2017 Roc de Cambes (8), offered at such a significant discount that it's pretty much the same as its opening en primeur price. From François Mitjavile (of Tertre Roteboeuf fame) and his vineyard in the Côtes de Bourg, it's Merlot-based and with its glossy, mouth-filling dark cherry fruit and long, long finish, it's in glorious condition and more than living up to its pedigree. It's Cru Classé-beating class in a glass at just £53.95. The mixed case contains two bottles each of wines 1-3 and 5-7. Wines 4 and 8 are offered in boxes of six. Delivery is free for orders over £150. Order online today or download an order form.
