Can I make you a wine expert with just FOUR WINES?

This week I set myself a challenge: if I could only recommend four wines to help someone understand wine properly, which four would they be?

I genuinely think these four bottles can teach you enough to walk into any supermarket wine aisle with confidence. They cover four key grapes, four different styles, and four of the most important lessons in wine.

Whether you're completely new to wine or just want a simple place to start, this is the video I'd recommend.

The four wines featured are:

Waitrose No.1 New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
Dark Horse Chardonnay (California)
De Loach OFS Pinot Noir (California)
Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon

If you can get your head around these four, you'll understand aroma, winemaking, elegance and structure better than most people standing in the wine aisle.

Let me know in the comments: if you could only recommend ONE wine to a beginner, what would it be?
