Thank the gods for summer — a time when every meal possible should be spent outdoors, whether it be a tranquil supper with a glass of something crisp, or dinner with a noisy gang of family and friends, sharing a cheerfully priced bottle. From picnics to parties, we have you covered with a selection of summer wines at every price.

There’s big bottles made for sharing and fun fizz for popping open, cool restrained rosés and punchier ones too, floral field blends and single-varietal revelations, and juicy reds ready for chilling. Aren’t we all?
