We feature two half-price wines from Tesco this week, available at the discounted price to customers with Clubcards. Both of these represent value at €9 a bottle. South Africa does produce some very good sauvignon blanc, not unlike Marlborough at times. The shiraz is lighter in style than Australian versions but will go well with food.
