With the Fifa World Cup, England vs New Zealand Test Series, Royal Ascot and golf’s US Open (yawn) well under way – not to mention Henley and Wimbledon just around the corner – it’s imperative that the armchair sports fan (and armchair sports hater) has the right vino to hand. Well, we’re here to help.

Indeed, my old chum Tom Ashworth, CEO of Yapp Bros, and I toiled late into the night – actually, early into the morning – to ensure that the wines for this offer were just so. As dawn broke and we hiccoughed our farewells, we reflected somewhat unsteadily on a job well done. As ever, drinkability is the key.

The 2025 Domaine des Oullières ‘Harmonie’ (1) is a fresh, easy-going white from a family-owned estate north-west of Aix-en-Provence from which Yapp Bros buy buckets of excellent rosé. So taken were they with this on a recent visit that they snapped it up too. Made largely from Rolle (aka Vermentino), it has sploshes of Sauvignon Blanc and Grenache Blanc to pep it up a bit and give vim, and it’s as amenable a summer white as you’re likely to find. £14.50 down from £15.50.
