FRANCE
I love the citrussy taste of Tesco’s Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, especially with a prawn or chicken stir-fry
CHILE Made in one of Chile’s great wine regions, this elegant wine benefits from coastal breezes that mean the grapes ripen slowly, resulting in beautiful apple and gooseberry aromas. These are complemented by flavours of grapefruit and tropical fruit. Tesco Finest Organic Chilean Sauvignon Blanc 75cl, £9

From the Loire Valley, France’s most famous Sauvignon Blancproducing region, this wine is classically crisp, zesty and tropical, but has a long steely finish, making it a great match for goat’s cheese and salads. Tesco Finest Sancerre 75cl, £14
HUNGARY This incredibly zesty white wine from Hungary puts the fresh fruit flavours of lemons and limes up front. Crisp and light, it’s delicious on its own or served with your favourite summer salad. Chill well for maximum enjoyment. i heart Sauvignon Blanc 75cl, £5.50
AUSTRALIA This Sauvignon Blanc is quintessentially Australian, with light citrus notes, undertones of gooseberry and a hint of passion fruit. The perfect wine to serve with fish or seafood. Yellow Tail Sauvignon Blanc 75cl, £7
NEW ZEALAND Wonderfully crisp and refreshing, this Sauvignon Blanc has the typical tropical finish you expect from the Marlborough wine region in New Zealand, but at just 9.5% ABV, it has less alcohol and fewer calories per glass than others on the market. The Doctors’ Sauvignon Blanc 75cl, £9
