Christmas Day is a marathon, not a sprint — and let's be honest, the wine you're drinking matters just as much as what's on the table.
We've put together our guide to the best Christmas wines for every moment of the day. From breakfast bubbles to post-dinner sippers, these are the bottles we'll actually be reaching for this year. Whether you're after something to pair with turkey, a show-stopping red for the beef, or that perfect sweet wine to finish, we've got you covered.
So grab a glass (it's never too early to start planning), and let's walk through Christmas Day, one brilliant bottle at a time.
Christmas Morning: Start the Day in Style
The perfect alternative to Buck's Fizz — a gently sparkling sweet wine from a tiny family-run winery in Piemonte. Ripe peaches, orange, and lemons. Also superb with afternoon tea.
Pre-Lunch Aperitif: Celebrate with Bubbles
Celebrate the big day in style with one of England's finest sparkling wines. The perfect aperitif to enjoy with friends and family. Crisp apple, ripe pears, lemon curd, and toasty brioche.
Christmas Lunch: The Perfect White
Ripe stone fruits and crisp citrus notes — perfect with any seafood starter and the ideal white wine to pair with roast turkey.
Christmas Lunch: The Perfect Red (Turkey)
From a wonderful family-run winery in South Africa, this stunning Pinot Noir is the perfect accompaniment to roast turkey. Bright red fruits and a lick of oak — a match made in heaven.
Christmas Dinner: The Showstopper Red (Beef)
Big, bold red from one of Bordeaux's most famous appellations. Packed with blackcurrant and cherry with gentle toasty oak notes. Stunning with beautiful roast beef.
After Dinner: The Perfect Sweet Finish
The only sweet wine to round off your Christmas meal. Sauternes and Stilton is the ultimate food and wine pairing!
