So often it seems that the best value is found in the sweet and fortified category. At under a tenner per 37.5cl bottle, this Sicilian sweet fortified wine is a bargain. Pour a glass and don't just put it aside for cooking. You'll find a mélange of orange and mandarin citrus, plus notes of dried fig, raisins and toffee, with the oxidative character that results from ageing in oak casks which are partially filled, leaving the wine in contact with oxygen. A great match for biscotti, cream puffs or tiramisu. Mix-six price: £8.99.
