An industry veteran in value for money in the sparkling red category, Andrew Garrett is still holding its own among the dozens of more recent offerings. Good red fruit flavour and balance

A relative newcomer on the Australian wine scene, Pinot Grigio offers a real alternative to the more traditional white varieties. Yalumba provide an exellent example here with a spicy, flavoursome, textured and a great food match styled wine.

Sparkling Shiraz is one of Australia's truly unique wine styles and McGuigan do a fantastic job here with copious amounts of fresh and vibrant red fruit just bursting out of the glass.

Located at Angle Vale, the Carypidis family have been producing high quality Pinot Grigio for Yalumba for a number of years and were Certified Organic in 2010. This beautiful example exhibits jasmine and white flowers, which are complemented by cinnamon quill and all spice. These are met by crunchy nashi pear acidity and a musk stick finish.

De Bortoli Prosecco is sourced from Victoria's King Valley - known as Little Italy given many Italian migrants have become multi-generational winemakers in the area. The sparkling wine tastes of apple and pear with fresh pithy lemon, gentle creaminess, complete with the very fine bubbles. Great on its own or shared with food.

Henkell is one of the world's most popular sparklings and one with a long and proud history. The classic Henkell Trocken is fresh and fruity with hints of ripe pear and green apple. A crisp clean and lively finish.

Extended time on yeast lees has added a rich creaminess to the blend which is enhanced by a refreshing dry finish. It combines Pinot elegance with complexity and depth of flavour to make it a perfect food wine. It's easy to see why Orlando's Trilogy sparkling wines continue to be great value for money.

Balliamo Pinot Grigio displays a clear, straw colour with lifted aromas of pear, lemon and fresh citrus. Crisp acidity complements its excellent flavour length.

A fresh, grapey nose leads to a palate with lovely fruit flavours. Borgo Sanleo had just a hint of sweetness, making the finish is nicely crisp. Great value Prosecco.

For over 100 years, Australians have marked special occasions and celebrations with a bottle of Minchinbury. Delicate and wonderfully delicious, Minchinbury wines are now even finer and more premium than ever before. The 'Crisp' Classic Brut is an exciting, racy sparkling style with a citrus backbone and brilliant length. Ideal for the party season with its striking packaging and vibrant flavour.
