GOLD winner in the super-premium category, The Vodka Masters 2008. Once upon a time there was a vodka called Snow Queen. She was born in the far-away land of Kazakhstan. Her father was the finest organic wheat and her mother was the purest water that flowed through the snow-capped mountains. Soon, Snow Queen became known as the smoothest, most beautiful vodka of them all. Experts came from far and wide and were amazed that such a perfect drink existed. They showered her with prizes. Gold Medals. Awards and Diplomas. But what is the secret of her beauty? It was quite simple. Unlike any other vodkas, Snow Queen had been distilled not once, twice, thrice, not even four times. She had been distilled five times. That's what gave her such a unique, smooth, velvety taste. But, of course, as happens so often in fairy tales, her beauty carried a terrible curse. For whoever put Snow Queen to his lips was condemned to fall in love with her for the rest of his life.

Volpaia is the touchstone by which all other Tuscan wines are judged.

This fine Riserva is elegant and understated but with great persistence of rich red cherry and chestnut flavours. Save for fillet steaks.

The pale straw colour and aromas of ripe citrus fruits indicate the chardonnay origins of Pelorus nv. A bouquet of apple and lemon complements fresh bready notes derived from two years bottle ageing on lees. The deliciously crisp palate displays toasty, creamy complexity, enhanced by a lingering nutty finish. Chardonnay and pinot noir grapes are sourced from several grower and estate vineyards located within the Wairau Valley in Marlborough. Soils vary from stony free draining gravels to fine silt loams containing some clay. Vineyards are planted at a density of 1850 vines/ha and in an average year yield 9 tonnes/ha. The vines are trained to a standard vertical shoot positioned canopy. As a non-vintage sparkling wine, the final Pelorus blend comprises base wines from several seasons. The pinot noir and chardonnay grapes for Pelorus are harvested when the ideal balance between acid and sugar levels is reached for the production of premium sparkling wine. The naturally high acidity found in grapes grown in the Marlborough region ensures elegance and crispness in the final wine. Several different clones of chardonnay and pinot noir are used in the vinification of Pelorus NV. All grapes are pressed without crushing and the juice is given a short period of settling which is followed by racking and inoculation with a pure strain of Montrachet yeast. The base wines are fermented and aged in a mixture of stainless steel tanks, large oak vats and small French oak barrels. Following a spontaneous malolactic fermentation the wines are left to age on lees for a further eight months prior to blending each November. The chardonnay predominant blend is put on tirage using prise de mousse yeast the following February and subsequently allowed to attain a minimum of two years lees ageing in the bottle before disgorgement.

Winemaker Randall Grahm is more creative than most when it comes to labelling his wines and this is no exception. It's a wine that needs time to breathe (it's sealed under screwcap) and it's full of dry, earthy, peppery, very Rhone-like flavours. A fine match with slow-cooked red meats.

Colour: White crystal. Nose: Spicy, smoky, hint of caramelised vegetables. Palate: Rich palate with undertones of vanilla, cinnamon and gentle honey. Finish: Gentle heat with cooked plums and oranges. The agave takes 10 years to reach maturity and there are therefore only ten harvests per century. Each huge agave plant weighs 50 kilos (100 pounds) on average and 10 kilos (20 pounds) of agave are required to produce just one litre of agave spirit. By contrast, sugar cane, barley and grapes can be harvested at least once a year making rum, whisky and brandy rather less expensive to produce. At Destileria Porfidio, they steam-cook the agave plants for at least 24 hours. Once the cooking cycle is complete, the softened agave fibre has to be pressed to separate the agave juices from the agave fibre. Press: As with ultra-premium olive oil, only the first pressing of the agave fibre is used for the production of Porfidio spirits. In addition, Porfidio does not dilute the freshly squeezed agave juice during the pressing process as some manufacturers would, as this would reduce the quality of the agave juice. The agave juice derived from mature agave plants contains natural agave sugar, which is the basis for the subsequent fermentation process. The agave juice is brownish in colour and similar to coffee in appearance. The agave juice is fermented by introducing micro-organisms, or good bacteria, which convert the sugar into alcohol. Bad bacteria would turn the agave juices into vinegar. The fermented agave juice has an alcoholic content of only 12% abv. Destileria Porfidio is the only factory in Mexico which implements quality fermentation in a rigorously controlled and therefore ideal environment. The fermented agave juice is distilled three times, in traditional alambic pots, separating the heads and the tails at each distillation and only keeping the heart of each distillate. Plata Triple-Distilled at 45% alcohol by volume is also the starting point for the ageing process which will over time produce Porfidio Anejo Single-Barrel. Prior to bottling, Porfidio Plata is adjusted to exactly 38% alcohol by volume.

Lovely, light and delicate, a real Oddbins favourite - but in a half bottle for those times when smaller is better!

We've been fans of this stellar Riesling for decades. Incisive and elegant, with freshly-cut grapefruit and lemon zest flavours, it's fantastically refreshing, and a favourite at Cellar and Kitchen Store tastings. Despite having so many contenders for Riesling supremacy in South Australia's Clare Valley (an area north of the Barossa Valley with slate as bedrock - just as in some top German vineyards) Jane and Andrew Mitchell effortlessly lead the pack vintage after vintage.

The Berentzen Fruit Liqueurs are the logical consequence of the sales success of the Apple Liqueurs. Set up on the knowledge of producing soft spirits, they have the same base of wheat spirit.

TOZ - So called, after the measurement of gold in troy ounces - 'Toz'. Toz White Gold is a blend of aged, premium rums. Distilled in copper alembic pot and continuous stills, the rum is aged in American white oak barrels before a final polish in vintage port casks. The rum is then gently filtered to remove colour and to give a fresh citrus character with hints of sweet raisin and vanilla.

Distilled at a small family-run distillery that makes some of the most popular rums in Barbados, every bottle of Foursquare Spiced Rum is a hand-crafted blend of fresh nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and the distiller's art. Refreshingly smooth on ice, Foursquare Spiced doesn't contain the added sugar cane syrup commonly found in many other spiced rums. Foursquare Spiced Rum is an aged rum with hints of cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg gently blended in at the distillery. The actual recipe is a family secret passed down through five generations. It is bottled in Hand Crafted European glass bottles with a hand dipped wax seal. The Rum heralds from Barbados - the island where rum was born.

Easygoing yet satisfyingly complex, this lovely wine, with its aromas of raspberries and cherry-stone elegance, is at its best with roast duck or soft cheeses. Based in Lantignie near the 'cru' village of Regnié, the Joubert family operate from a charming chalet-like wooden winery. It sits in a mini-crevasse formed by the village's towering church walls and a precipitous slope of vines. This wine hails from Juliénas, one of 6 'crus' in which the Jouberts own vineyards.

Outstanding flavour yet again achieved from Nicholas Catena where the emphasis is on ripe, varietal fruit characteristics and a more moderate use of oak. This wine displays a stunning array of ripe peach, pear and apple flavours which marry harmoniously with toasty oak.
