The Times

Jane MacQuitty says tasting pink wines in the run-up to summer is no longer the struggle it once was. "My pink wine tasting success rate this summer was far higher than that achieved for either whites or reds," she explains. Among her favourites are the 2007 Las Falleras Ros (3.79, M&S) "with its pleasant, grapey fruit" and the 2007 Gran Tesoro Garnacha Ros (3.19, Tesco). If you fancy trading up, MacQuitty recommends you try the "rich, raspberry-stashed" 2007 Chteau d'Aqueria Tavel Ros (Majestic, 9.99).
