Most of my best-value picks come from South Africa, Chile or Spain, but keep an eye out for one-off gems – even Bordeaux, a region not noted for delivering great value for money, proves there are exceptions to the rules!

Susy’s pick: Pavillon La Tourelle Bordeaux Supérieur 2019, France (13 per cent, Majestic, £8.99 or £6.99 as part of a mixed six)

There’s plenty of fruit and spice in this remarkably low-priced Bordeaux. It’s made from 60 per cent merlot, 30 per cent cabernet franc and 10 per cent cabernet sauvignon and has been aged in oak for 12 months.
