Graciano is one of Spain?s best kept wine secrets - a red grape with thick skins that is a tricky customer to grow, which means there?s precious little of it about, even in the vineyards of the Rioja, where it is one of the traditional ingredients in the wine of the same name.

This is a dark Spanish beauty with soft fruit flavours, medium body and fresh, long finish.

Gran Familia Rioja is an excellent value Rioja, with delicious red fruit flavours and balance. Here, the winemakers have opted for a more fruit forward Rioja by using less oak than usual. The result is a wine that shows great varietal expression and brightness. This is a very versatile wine at a great price.

Fresh, light bodied and convincingly Prosecco like, only this lively Australian bubbly contains no alcohol. This is one of out top picks of zero alcohol wines currently available and is proving highly popular with customers. 

The wines in the plus & minus range are firstly made as wine, which contains alcohol, aromas and flavours.
It then goes through a process to remove the alcohol. This process sees the wine go through a high vacuum, low pressure distillation machine which separates the alcohol from the wine by creating a vacuum (negative pressure) at a low temperature. The cool temperature allows the retention of aromas, which are removed along with the alcohol. The final step sees the aromas returned back into the wine and, finally, the winemaker bottles it and sends it out to the market.

On the face of it, sparkling pink Pinot Noir in a can sounds... well, a little out of the blue, but this is the best wine in cans that we've tried yet. And we're sure you'll agree. Gold Digger is a long established sparkling wine from Central Otago's Maori Point Wines. This new pink fizz is an addition to this much loved bubbly brand. 

Try it yourself and be the judge... 

Gold Digger Frizzante comes from Central Otago which is home to many of New Zealand's best sparkling wines. 

This product comes in two styles; rose (made entirely from Pinot Noir) and Pinot Gris. Both lightly bubbly and in 440ml cans - the ideal size for an apertif for two people or as a couple of drinks for one person.

Full of flavour and light in body, this lovely Mosel Riesling is medium dry with complex aromas of limes, lemons, fresh green apple and peach flavours that typify Mosel Riesling. It has a light touch of sweetness in the mid palate and finishes crisp and dry. 

this wine is made from grapes grown on the Goldlay Vineyard in Germany for the Giesen brothers, who bought a vineyard land in the village of Reil on the banks of the Mosel River. Their friend and fellow winemaker, Tobias Treis, makes this wine, which is shipped to New Zealand.

Sensationally good value for money sparkling wine made from Italy's Emilia-Romagna region... This light bodied, lighter alcohol wine has 11.5% alcohol and lively flavours of ripe white peach tempered by the balance bubbles. It's made from 75 Trebbiano and 30% Chardonnay grapes and is extra dry in style, which means it has a light fruity taste and a dry finish. 

It bears a passing resemblance to Prosecco in style but it has different flavours and represents very good value for money.
