BBQ weather or not (probably not) it's time to get shopping for the Bank Holiday weekend.
Firstly an old favourite from Majestic :
Mâcon-Lugny 2011 Louis Latour
About halfway between the freshness of a Macon Villages and the richer flavour of a White Burgundy. One of my long time favourites and a decent price at £7.99 from Majestic if you buy (at least) two. Good with fish and especially nice with creamy pasta dishes.

Next from M&S :
Montaignan Malbec 2011
A French Malbec from Languedoc. The French are fighting back (at last) by bottling decent wine under varietal labels. This is a match for most Argentinian Malbecs of a similar price and is full of the trademark fruity Malbec flavours. Only available online at £50 for a case of 6 - but note that you'll get 25% off this price if you buy any two cases of beer or wine - which makes it an effective £6.25 a bottle which is a very keen price. Great with that BBQ ... if only :)

Finally from Asda :
ASDA Extra Special Prosecco
Nice light fizz - good on its own or mix it 50/50 with some decent OJ for Buck's Fizz to drink with nibbles before a Sunday Lunch. On offer at £7 at the moment and rather better than some of the more well known 'brands' at a similar or higher price (hello Mr Martini).
