    The Ten Wines Never to be Without

    The Ten Wines Never to be Without

    We're going full-on Moses mode in this episode, nailing down the ten wines you should always have at home.

    Of course, personal taste plays a part. You want to have wines to hand you're going to reach for - which means your favourite styles.

    But beyond that, it helps to have some expert insight into the bigger picture in order to always have delicious, affordable and useful wines when you need them.

    Our primary objective is joyous everyday drinking.

    But also: what works best with food, versatile wines to serve guests, give as gifts, wines that get better over time if you buy a few, ideal wines for those impromptu celebrations, wines for both summer and winter...we even introduce the notion of, 'emergency wine'.

    So we define our top 10 'go-to' wine staples. We're aware this is potentially controversial territory. But we also hope it's helpful too.

    Helping us out in this challenging task are the fine people at Waitrose, who are sponsoring this episode.

    Waitrose do a fine line in wine and, as we focus on these indispensable wine categories, we've chosen individual wines from their range to illustrate our decisions.

    When we originally ran this episode, Waitrose had a special offer on: 25% off when you buy 6 or more bottles from £6-100. For the sake of clarity, that offer has now expired (though they do tend to repeat these offers periodically).

    But even at the non-discount prices, these wines still represent great quality and value.

    So what are the ten wines never to be without? Tune in to find out... 

    The wines featured in this episode are:

    • Hattingley Classic Reserve Brut NV, England
    • Saint Clair Wairau Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022, New Zealand
    • Bouchard Finlayson Crocodile’s Lair Chardonnay 2021, South Africa
    • Leitz Rüdesheimer Magdalenenkreuz Riesling Kabinett 2022, Germany
    • Muga Rioja Rosé 2022, Spain
    • Joseph Drouhin Chorey-Les-Beaune 2020, France
    • Baron de Ley Club Privado Rioja Reserva 2018, Spain
    • Terre di Faiano Puglia Primitivo 2021, Italy
    • Chateau Oumsiyat Mijana 2019, Lebanon
    • Crociani Vin Santo di Montepulciano 2017, Italy
    • Florent Rouve Arbois Chardonnay 2020, France
    • Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino 2016, Italy
