Finding the right wine for your holiday festivities doesn’t have to be challenging. Our experts have carefully selected a collection of wines that will help you impress even the most discerning guests.

Hors d’Oeuvres & Bubbles, Fresh Unoaked Whites or Rose!

Choosing the right wine to serve with H’ors d’Oeuvres can be challenging as there tends to be a lot of flavours and cooking styles going on.

• Bubbles – Bernard Massard Cuvee de l’Ecusson Brut (Germany, SKU 22278)
• Fresh Unoaked Whites – Bougrier Touraine Sauvignon Blanc AOC (France, SKU 15898)
• Rose – Pasqua 11 Minutes Rose (Italy, SKU 19524)

Turkey Dinner & Fruity Reds or Off-Dry Whites

We suggest having a fruity red and an off-dry white on the table. Pour a small amount in each of your guest’s glasses and let them pick their preference.

• Fruity Reds – Banfi L’Altra Barbera d’Asti (Italy, SKU 19593)
• Off-Dry Whites – Rosewood Riesling AF (VQA Canada, SKU 21650)

Dessert & Sweet Wines

When pairing wine with dessert always go with sweeter in the glass than on the plate.

• Sweet & Bubbly – Banfi Rosa Regale Sparkling DOCG (Italy, SKU 4442)
• Port – Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Old Tawny Port (Portugal, SKU 2735)

Christmas Cake & Moscato D’Asti

Typically you should try to match the weight of the wine to the weight of the dish, however that is not the case here. Pair a heavy Christmas cake or pudding with a light and effervescent wine.

• Light & Effervescent – Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante (Italy, SKU 12027)

Brunch & Bubbles or Sauvignon Blanc

Bubbles are a safe choice when pairing wines with brunch as there are typically a lot of flavours on your plate. If you are serving any smoked salmon or goat’s milk cheese then opt for a Sauvignon Blanc.

• Bubbles – LaMarca Prosecco (Italy, SKU 18026)
• Sauvignon Blanc – Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand, SKU 6828)

Versatile & Food Friendly For the Dinner Host

When gifting wine to a dinner host keep in mind the wine may be opened and enjoyed that evening. Opt for a versatile and food friendly wine with packaging that will stand out as a centerpiece on the table. Try Pinot Noir, Chablis, Rose or even Champagne!

• Pinot Noir – Bread & Butter Pinot Noir (California, SKU 20245)
• Chablis – J Brocard Chablis St Claire (France, SKU 22895)
• Champagne – Veuve Clicquot Brut Champagne (France, SKU 3153)
