Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start stocking up on wines that are perfect for the upcoming warm season. Plus, I'm trying to stretch my rand and I was challenged to see what wines I could buy on my budget of R500 and came up with four great surprises — and some change too.

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start stocking up on wines that are perfect for the upcoming warm season. Plus, I'm trying to stretch my rand and I was challenged to see what wines I could buy on my budget of R500 and came up with four great surprises — and some change too.
1. MCC Rosé, Pongracz, R150
Celebrate the start of spring in style by cracking a bottle of bubbly.
2. The Flame Lily, White Blend, Kumusha Wines, R100
Whether it's your preference for a crisp sauvignon blanc or a buttery chardonnay, there's a white blend that's perfect for you.
3. Pinot Grigio, Delle Venezie, R140
All the way from Italy this light refreshing wine served ice cold is the perfect pairing for seafood or lighter meals.
4. Red Muscadel, Rietvallei Wines, R90
Ring the changes and end the meal on a sweet note with this fruity wine that goes well with summery fruits, desserts, fine mature cheese or enjoyed on its own.
