You’ve doubtless spent a fortune on the presents again this year, let alone the significant amount of festive food that you plan to consume over the course of the day.
With all of the effort that goes into creating that perfect festive feast, it seems a terrible waste not to put a bit of thought into what you’re drinking with it! Why go and ruin the day - the right wines can lift the festive dinner to new heights, whilst the wrong choice of wines could go down like cold sprouts…
We’ve selected a few of our fine wines that we believe compliment the festive feast ..and you can buy them all online now in time for Christmas Day.
Roast Turkey: As always we have to ponder the question, Red or White wine with the turkey …?
Well, that’s sometimes the big question around the table, so why not keep everyone happy with a choice of both….we’ve chosen a light white burgundy and a pinot noir, both of which won’t overpower the delicate flavours of the turkey, but will stand up to the trimmings.
2007 Petit Chablis Saint Roche, France
Silvery green colour with dazzling brilliance and appealing bouquet. Reminiscent of pineapple and green lemon, long in the palate with good vivacity.

2008 Pinot Noir -Te Kauwhata, Quarry Road, New Zealand
A most popular new comer to Vin Vino.
A light red colour with a capsicum peppery bouquet, softly dry with good flavour of damson and dates.

Roast Goose: We’d reccomend a relatively rich white to complement the texture of goose. This stunning Côte de Beaune Chardonnay also has the mineral edge to cut through the fattiness of the bird.
2001 Montagny 1er Cru ‘Vieilles Vignes’
Montagny is the southernmost appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise and is a pure chardonnay varietal. Light golden with a nose of smoky gunflint and a firm fruit palate with a touch of vanilla on a soft, rich texture.

Founded in 1818 the Billecart family has lived in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ since the mid-sixteenth century. The House was established when Nicolas-François Billecart married Elisabeth Salmon. The Grande Marque quickly established an international reputation with a US subsidiary being set up in the early 1840′s. Russia became the company’s major export market but this trade collapsed after the 1917 revolution. Eight years later the decision was made to sell off the firm’s vineyards and the money raised was invested in the winery and cellars.
