Valdobbiadene Prosecco, £7.49, Aldi

Here is the first of two summer sizzlers you can enjoy come rain or shine. Prosecco is Italy’s very own champagne-style fizz and this award-winning extra dry example is full of light summer fruits. What’s more it is around a third of the cost of a bottle of French bubbly so what excuse do you have for not popping a cork or two? 

 

Toro Loco Rose 2014, £3.79, Aldi

Raspberries and cherries are the flavours in this dry, 12% alcohol Spanish rose made from local Bobal grapes in the Utiel Requena region near Valencia. Well chilled it is delicious either on its own or with a picnic or barbecue. Toro Loco means Crazy Bull and the price is quite frankly absolutely loco too. Grab it while you can.
