On the grapevine

Head to Hoults in Huddersfield for good deals on champagne and port, including Bollinger at £26.99 which isn't quite the cheapest in town, but it is pretty close and you don't have to buy by the six-pack.

There is a good range from the small and excellent port house of Krohn. Try their silver-medal winning Rio Torto Reserva at 11.99. There is a range of old vintage ports, including Warre's 1985 at 49.50, Dow's 1980 at 85 and the fabulous Warre's 1966 at 115. 01484 510700.

Deals galore

Lewis and Cooper in Northallerton are busy with a range of offers including Voyager Claret 2005 and The Cross Pinot Noir 2007 from New Zealand at 6.99.
