You do have to buy a minimum of 12 bottles at Majestic (of as many different wines as you like) but at this time of year is that a problem?

This is an ideal all-purpose red from Chile.

Yali is the name of a native bird and conversation will fly with the lovely smooth berry and vanilla taste of this 14 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon.

A really good buy at the price.
