3 Wines Under £20 That Guarantee To Impress Your Friends from The Wine Society

These three whites are brilliant examples of quality without the cost: versatile, crowd-pleasing and beautifully made. Perfect for holiday lunches, cosy evenings with cheese, or simply keeping a chilled bottle ready in the fridge for guests. Let’s explore them in more detail.

Bergerac Blanc La Cuvée des Conti 2024, £12.50

A classic Bordeaux-style blend, dominated by Semillon with Sauvignon Blanc. Brilliant wine, fresh, aromatic and beautifully balanced.  Good price, great quality. A very smart white indeed.

Domaine Mallory et Benjamin Talmard, Mâcon-Montbellet La Bergerie 2023, £14.50

Affordable white Burgundy, from southern Burgundy - ripe yet restrained with a touch more minerality and finesse. Classic Chardonnay.  Have this bottle in the fridge ready and chilled for friends and family. 

The Society’s Exhibition Côtes du Jura 2020, £19.50

A mature, nutty Jura white with beautiful texture and depth, absolutely made for Comté cheese. Elegant, distinctive and quietly luxurious. Love this wine. 

Three bottles. All under £20. Proof that “smart” doesn’t have to mean expensive.
