May is here, the sun is peeking out gently, and the terrace is calling. This is exactly when you want something fresh in your glass – or perhaps a little buttery white wine for Saturday dinner. This week, five new products are appearing on the shelves, and I'm here to help you figure out which ones deserve a spot in your shopping basket.

Let's start with what is guaranteed to catch your attention: Mirror Margarita for just 63 kroner. This is a ready-made margarita in a bottle – a so-called "ready-to-drink" cocktail – meaning you can spend your time enjoying the evening rather than standing there squeezing limes. Think of it as the equivalent of a ready-made pizza: not always the fanciest option, but damn practical after a long workday. Serve it ice-cold with salt on the rim, and you're already mentally at a beach bar somewhere down south.

Next up: Butter Chardonnay at 139.90 kroner. The name says it all – this is a Chardonnay from California known for its round, almost buttery style. Think vanilla cream meets peach, with a soft finish that just lingers. Perfect with grilled chicken, pasta with cream sauce, or simply a lazy Sunday evening with a good book. For those who find many white wines too tart and sharp, this is a lovely acquaintance to make.

If you're willing to go a little further up the price range, Billaud-Simon Chablis Premier Cru Mont de Milieu 2024 at 600.60 kroner is worth a look. Chablis is the Burgundy region's answer to the mineral and fresh – think crushed stone, citrus zest, and crisp apples. A Premier Cru site like "Mont de Milieu" means we're talking about grapes from the best slopes in the area. This is the wine you open when you want to impress, or simply treat yourself to something extra alongside fresh fish or the oyster feast you've been planning.

Gran Spiritus Kirsebærlikør at 350 kroner is this week's wild card. Cherry liqueur can be used in many ways: pour it over ice cream, use it in cocktails, or drink it as a digestif after a meal. Its sweet, fruity character makes it accessible to most people, and at spring gatherings where not everyone is a wine enthusiast, this can be a pleasant option that everyone finds something to enjoy in.

Finally – for those with a truly generous budget and an appreciation for the extraordinary: Fichet Meursault 2023 at 1,895 kroner. Meursault is one of Burgundy's most celebrated white wine villages, and a good Meursault can remind you that wine can actually be something almost poetic. Nuts, butter, honey, and a freshness that keeps everything in balance. This is not an everyday wine – it is an occasion wine. Perhaps the 17th of May is drawing near?

If you're only going to pick one thing from the shelves this week, I'd say it depends on the occasion. Want something for everyday drinking? Go with Butter Chardonnay. Looking to impress your guests? Go for Billaud-Simon Chablis. And if you just want to have fun on the terrace with minimal effort? Mirror Margarita gets the job done – without costing you a fortune.

Spring is here. Cheers!
