1 Robust red

Tsantali Organic Cabernet Sauvignon (£8.54, Waitrose Wine Direct) has punchy blueberry bravado.

Blagger’s guide

Greece is one of the world’s oldest wine- producing regions, going back 6,500 years.

2 Elegant white

Hatzidakis Assyrtiko, Santorini (£10.44, Waitrose Wine Direct) is spiced starfruit dunked in peach juice.

Blagger’s guide

Of all the white grapes grown in Greece, Assyrtiko make the best wines for ageing.

3 Sticky red

Mavrodaphne Of Patras (£4.99, Tesco) is packed with toffee and raisin.

Blagger’s guide

This luscious dessert wine is made by blending younger wine with older wine in what is called a Solera system.
