Our wine expert reveals the best bottles of Grüner Veltliner under £15
Grüner Veltliner – Austria's flagship white – is popping up in more shops than ever, and I'm here for it. For me, it combines the fruit and texture of Chardonnay, with a touch of that green snap you get from Sauvignon Blanc. It's brilliant with everything from salads to fish, poultry and dishes with a little spice.
