’Tis the season to reach for a warming bottle of red wine. Whites are refreshing on summer days, but in winter a bottle of vin rouge is best with a hearty meal.
The 10 Best Red Wines for Winter
Better still, this is the best time of year to buy wine. Supermarkets and large  retailers are competing to get market share from the lucrative Christmas period.
Approximately 30% of total annual wine sales happen in the last six weeks of the year, which means prices are competitive. Offers either come as single bottle price reductions, or as per case discount (usually six bottles).
The real trick in selecting the right bottle depends on the food, the mood or occasion.
But if you don’t know a delicate Pinot Noir from an Australian Shiraz, where should you start? Right here. We’ve come up with a range of wine styles and prices, from everyday drinking to dinner party specials.
Stack your wine rack up with this lot and impress your wine connoisseur mates.Waitrose Romanian Pinot Noir, Waitrose, £5.99This light fruity Pinot Noir from Romania is a great glass of red for every day. This wine offers fantastic value for money, punches well above its weight at this price.
Buy it now.Definition Marlborough Pinot Noir 2017, Majestic, £12.49This Kiwi wine from the Majestic’s own label range serves up a ripe juicy style of Pinot Noir fit to accompany roast lamb or game. It is also a great one to drink in front of the telly with salted cashews.
Buy it now.Mâcon Rouge ‘Les Roches Rouges’ 2017 Louis Jadot, Majestic, £11.99  From the house of Louis Jadot, this light fruity red produced from 80% Gamay and 20% Pinot Noir is a great wine to drink while eating chicken - or turkey! 
Buy it now.Tesco Finest Rioja Reserva, Tesco, £8.50 This Rioja Reserva crafted by Baron De Ley for Tesco is a winner. Aged for two years in oak barrels, allowed to rest and develop in bottle for a further year before we get to taste it, this wine is a bargain. Great with food, especially cheese for me. 
Buy it now.Zensa Nero D’Avola 2018, Oddbins, £12.00 This vibrant Sicilian Red can be found in Oddbins. You won’t find an Oddbins in every town as in years gone by, but they’re still here and they do deliver. The Zensa produced from Sicily’s most widely planted and well known grape variety, Nero D’Avola, will give you spicy black cherry on the palette. Great with shepherd’s pie.
Buy it now.Chateau Musar Bekka Valley, Waitrose, £27.99This wine is an absolute favourite of mine and lives in my wine rack all year round. It is produced from Bordeaux grape varieties which is why it delivers such finesse. Lebanon has a history of wine production dating back 6000 years. Currently Chateau Musar is top of the Lebanese tree.
Buy it now.Frei Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Waitrose, £13.99 
This is a big bold soft velvety Cab Sauv from California. If you feel you need to reward yourself, this could do it. Currently on a great offer at Waitrose, this could be the time to stock up.
Buy it now.D.V. Catena Malbec, Argentina, Sainsbury’s, £12.00This fine wine is crafted by the Catena family in Mendoza, Argentina — a family business spanning four generations. The Malbec grapes come from four different vineyards all at high altitude in the lower slopes of the Andes, and boasts overtones of plum and cherry. 
Buy it now.Mayu Carménère Appassimento, Chile 2016, Majestic, £12.99 (£9.99 each for mixed case of six)The Carménère grape originated in France but has become the signature grape of Chile. To produce this Appassimento, the grapes have been dried for two months to concentrate the sugars, producing a deep, concentrated wine. This is a lot of wine for the money. Drink it now or stick it in the rack. It could be worth planning a dinner party around this wine.
Buy it now.Gnarly Dudes Shiraz 2016 Two Hands, Barossa Valley, Majestic, £21.99 (£18.99 each for mixed case of six)     This wine is a powerhouse of an Aussie Shiraz! Produced using grapes from mature vines and from a number of small parcels, aged in oak for 12 months, this is a wine to get your teeth into. Serving suggestion? It sits nicely with beef, lamb, or cheese.

Mary Trump 'energized' as uncle 'Donald's campaign spirals into chaos'
Mar 29, 2024
Donald Trump's campaign is in chaos, and his niece says she's energized.Mary Trump, the niece of the former president and a psychologist by trade, has previously been critical of her uncle.On Thursday, she said her uncle's failures are adding up.ALSO READ: A neuroscientist reveals how Trump and Biden's cognitive impairments are different"As the RNC’s fundraising falters and Donald’s campaign spirals into chaos, I am energized!" she said in a Substack post.She then continued:"When Donald dominates the news cycle, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed. Every bad headline has a negative impact. But then I remember something crucial: There’s usually more to the story than meets the eye. I’m determined to cut through the media noise and share with you all the good that happened this week. These are the headlines we need to remain energized and hopeful that the media largely ignored."Mary Trump goes on to highlight President Joe Biden's recent fundraising hauls."President Biden’s $155 million+ war chest has just received another turbo boost, bringing the total of cash on hand to at least $180 million. (By comparison, between his campaign and the RNC, Donald barely has over $50 million — and continues to drain the accounts to cover his absolutely staggering legal expenses)," she wrote. "This is a development that could significantly increase Biden’s ability to influence the narrative in crucial swing states."This, she says, also tells us a lot about voter excitement for Biden."While critics have expressed doubts about the degree to which the Democratic base is fired up as compared to 2020, today’s $25 million fundraiser, raised with donations ranging from $250 to $500,000, should put any doubts to rest — yes, we are absolutely behind President Biden and Vice President Harris and we’re in this fight until the end," she wrote.Read the full post here.
