O’Briens has a post-Christmas sale running this month, with plenty of wines on offer. As well as the two featured wines, I would recommend the svelte warming Ferraton Côtes du Rhône Samorëns (€13.95, down from €16.95), perfect for winter drinking, as well as the very keenly priced Condes De Albarei Albariño (€12.95, down from €19.95) if you enjoy crisp, fruity dry white wines.
If you are on a tight budget the Los Coches Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah (both €8.95, down from €10.95) are very affordable, as is the light, refreshing Montelvini Promosso Frizzante (€10, down from 12.95) if you have something to celebrate.
Wildflower Pinot Grigio 2023, Romania
11% abv, €8.95 (down from €14.25)
All of the Wildflower range offer good value for money. The Pinot Grigio is fresh and lively with plenty of juicy pear and green apple fruits. A great sipping wine or with herby seafood dishes.
Porteño Malbec 2023, Argentina
13.5% abv, €9.95 (down from €16.95)
A lighter style of Malbec, medium-bodied with soft, sweet, dark fruits. Enjoy this with a platter of mixed cheeses and charcuterie.
