Look to Germany for well-made lighter wines with lower alcohol levels

I have mentioned the two German wines below on a previous occasion. When on promotion, they offer outstanding value for money to those who like lighter wines with lower levels of alcohol. The Riesling is 12.5 per cent and the pinot noir 13 per cent. Put aside any lingering prejudices you may have against German wines. These are really well-made modern wines that deserve a place on your dinner table. And they aren’t sweet.

If your tastes are more traditional, SuperValu also has two well-priced Bordeaux, Château Camp de la Hire (€17.99 down to €12.99) and Château Moulin-Lafitte (€18.99 down to €13.99).

Albert Glas Riesling 2021, Pfalz, Germany

Fresh, crisp green apple fruits, lively, zesty, citrus and a dry finish. Enjoy this with crab recipes or with prawn. Lightly spicy Thai prawns sounds good. €14.99 down from €19.99 in Supervalu.

Albert Glas Pinot Noir 2021, Pfalz, Germany

Fresh and fruity with black cherries and plums with an attractive earthy touch. Enjoy cool with salmon, tuna, duck or firm cheeses. €14.99 down from €19.99 in SuperValu
