A selection of wines for under £10
It’s so lovely to be able to take a long a bottle of wine when you are a guest and i have some lovely options here that won’t break the bank.
Calvet Cuvée du Cap Sauvignon Blanc
This is a beautiful wine with white peach and lime aromas. To be served alongside a shellfish platter, mixed salad or grilled fish. Lovely and light.
£9, Waitrose
JP Chenet Sauvignon Blanc
A fresh, round, fruity white wine with a delicate bouquet of citrus notes.
£7.25, Tesco
La P’tite Pierre Red (£7.25, Tesco)
This is my favourite of the under £10 bunch.
It is the coolest purple in colour, offers velvety tannins, underlying spices and a fruity finish.
Perfect for pairing with winter favourites and complementing the flavours of sausages wrapped in bacon.
£7.25, Tesco
Nozeco Sparkling Brut
Got to cater for the non-drinkers and the drivers – one of the most responsible things you can do when Christmas wine gifting!
This zero-alcohol fizz is dominated by white flowers and muscat white grapes. It’s a refreshing choice to enjoy as an apéritif, perfect for beginning the festive celebrations and is delicious paired with elderflower or orange juice.
Lovely!

Fatso
FATSO are shaking up the world of dark chocolate, with amazing flavour combos all featuring the most delicious, single-origin and ethically sourced dark chocolate from Colombia. I absolutely adored their FATSO Foursome Giftbox.
I adored these fun flavour combinations and how ethically sourced this product is. Made in Richmond. Each bar is wrapped in compostable bio-film produced from renewable wood pulp harvested from sustainably managed forests and packaged in a fun illustrated recyclable card box with a festive print.
The Kings Ransom Pistachio, with mint and coco nibs was my standout favourite.

The new flavour from FATSO this season is Drunk’n Monkey and it combines rum, banana chips and salted cracker. It is a taste sensation!

Gu Goodies
More cholate goodies from Gu this time in the shape of their Jaffa cake cheesecake.
Four glorious layers start with a rich cocoa biscuit base, topped with silky orange curd, a bright, zesty mascarpone cheesecake, and a velvety chocolate crème made from Gü’s signature blend of dark and milk chocolate. With a touch of bold Spanish orange zest and the result is the perfect tango of tangy citrus and indulgent cocoa, setting the tastebuds tingling.
Absolutely delicious, I just loved it! Jaffa cake fans will be in heaven.
But what if you have a sweet tooth but don’t love choc?
Well no worries because also new to the Gu range is their sticky toffee pudding. This light yet squidgy sponge made with over 20% juicy dates, smothered in a buttery, golden toffee sauce that’s sweet, salty and utterly moreish. With fragrant Madagascan vanilla and a touch of French salted butter for balance, it’s perfect served warm, ideally with a side scoop of melting vanilla ice cream or lashings of custard.
It taste homemade, indulgent and made me super happy!
