Festive Dinner Pairings
Beef Roast
So you've braved the queue at your local butcher but need a wine to match. A robust red is likely on your mind and you are correct! If you'd like to get even more precise with the pairing, match the wine with the cut of the meat and impress your guests with some of our options below.
Turkey & Trimmings
A classic Christmas staple that typically accompanies a variety of dishes which can make the wine pairing daunting. But don't fret, our experts have chosen wines that will stand up to the gravy and mash without overpowering the bird, you've worked so hard on.
Glazed Ham
The sweet, salty and smoky flavours of a glazed ham, gives us plenty of exciting options to pair with. Fruit-forward red, full-bodied or slightly sweet white, or perhaps a punchy sparkling rosé to complement this festive dish. The world is your oyster...or your ham.
Christmas Duck
If you are serving this show-stopper of a holiday bird at your table, could we please have an invitation? A roast duck will have everyone asking for seconds, so the wine should be as impressive to match the rich, dark meat and crispy skin.
Vegetarian Roast
Scrumptious vegetarian roasts are appearing more and more on the Christmas table, so why not celebrate with the wines to match? We have selected wines to complement classic veg holiday dishes, from mushroom based or nut dominating flavours, to lighter butternut squash recipes.
The pudding
For the grand finale of your feast, we are recommending some irresistible sippers to match those Christmas classics like pudding & chocolate log. For those preferring cheese, just remember, intensely flavoured styles like stilton, beg for equally intensely flavoured wine. Delicious!
