Cheers to the End of Dry January
Hurrah! The long, often dreary month of Dry January has finally drawn to a close. I must confess, my own version of 'Dry Jan' involved indulging in dry wines and the occasional classic dry martini. To celebrate the conclusion of what can feel like the gloomiest month, I have handpicked four bright, zesty white wines designed to lift your spirits and offer a tantalising hint of the spring season that is undoubtedly on its way.
For those who have grown rather fond of January's wallet-friendly habits, there is excellent news. Every single bottle featured in this selection comes in at under ten pounds, making them irresistible choices for both your palate and your purse.

Exceptional Austrian Riesling 2024 (12.5%)
A vibrant Riesling sourced from Lower Austria, this wine presents enticing notes of zesty lime and wet stone, balanced with a subtle touch of sweetness. It pairs exceptionally well with aromatic salads or mild, flavourful curries.
Specially Selected Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie 2024 (11.5%)
