All is fine and dandy

SIX OF THE BEST EASTER DRINKS

2017 CHATEAU CAPITOUL

(£8, Co-op) A ridiculously well-priced red from the Languedoc; rich and spicy, it comes in a pukka bottle.

ST-GERMAIN ELDERFLOWER LIQUEUR

(£7 per 20cl, Sainsbury’s) Known as bartenders’ ketchup, this livens up any cocktail and makes a fine spritz.

GRAN BANQUERO PEDRO XIMENEZ

(£10 per 50cl, Waitrose) From Spain, a gloopily, giggle-makingly sweet wine ideal with chocolate.

2018 MACON VINZELLES, CAVE DES GRANDS CRU BLANCS

(£13.50, Lea & Sandeman) A fresh, crisp, fulfilling, unwooded Chardonnay from Burgundy.

2013 CVNE RIOJA GRAN RESERVA

(£18.65, Tesco) Exemplary Rioja
