Red or white with the Christmas dinner? That’s the big wine question for many. The choice is yours!
For a white wine you could consider a Chardonnay as it won’t overpower the delicate flavour of the meat but will still handle all the trimmings. Chablis is a classic choice from the Burgundy
region of France.

A popular red wine option for the Christmas meal is a Rioja. A deliciously smooth and rich wine from the heart of Spain, that will pair beautifully whether you decide to serve turkey, lamb or beef.
Luis Canas Crianza Rioja 2017, Spain Now £12.99 (Save £2.51)
In the words of ‘Kool and The Gang’, “it’s time to celebrate and have a good time” and nothing says good times like bubbles! Cava might not be
in vogue but this stunning vintage Cava was recently voted best in the world. It’s ‘brut nature’ which means that no sugar is added, making it deliciously dry and moreish.
Castillo Perelada ‘Stars’ Cava 2017, Spain
Now £9.99

Christmas wouldn’t be complete without more cheese than you really need (but really want) and a glass of port to go with it. So how about this fabulous example from one of the greatest port producers – it’s glowing with gorgeous sweet berry fruit.
Fonseca LBV Port 2015, Portugal Now £13.99 (Save £2.51)
