If you are bored of Sauvignon, give one or two of the wines below a chance and they may change your mind

So many factors are important in good grapes which make great wine — including this €9 spicy, dark-fruited one reduced from €13.45

— and some excellent wine and sherry recommendations if you want to drink less but drink better

Plus a perfect Cape Clear gin 

— still time to sort some drinks-related Christmas presents
