I had a quiet pint or two with NoM at the weekend and we both said that it was about time that this re-started ... then I got the short straw :)
So ... this week we have from Mr Tesco :
Heidsieck & Co. Monopole Blue Top Champagne Brut 75cl - £14.99
A real top notch Champagne from a well respected House.
Lots of fruit, not as 'sharp' as some Champers prepared for the British market and plenty of proper grapey aftertaste.
Don't get it totally Baltic - normal fridge temperature and then let it come up to about 7° or 8° for drinking.
A real bargain at £14.99

From Aldi :
Minarete Ribera Del Duero - £5.49
Way underpriced - it can only be this cheap because no-one has really cottoned on to how good Ribera Del Duero is. It will knock any Rioja of a similar (or actually much higher) price into a cocked hat.
Brilliant with BBQs (if we ever get the weather) or a very good fruity red to have with cheese and biscuits of an evening.

From Averys :
De Martino 347 Chardonnay Reserva Limari Valley Chile 2011 - £8.33 (if you buy 6)
My favourite white of the last year or so - read my review on their site -
Great with fish or pasta - but loads of flavour and stands up to Roast Dinners very well.
