Kingsland Drinks offers tips on finding the perfect wine for your holiday meals.
Wine connoisseurs have shared their top picks for the festive season. With Christmas just around the corner and New Year's Eve not far behind, there's still time to make a quick trip to the shops to stock up on some last-minute beverages. Whether you're buying for yourself or as a gift to bring to a family or friends' gathering, you'll want to find a wine that pairs well with the food you'll be eating. That said, pairing wine with food can be daunting.
Fortunately, the wine experts from Kingsland Drinks have simplified the process by matching popular Christmas foods with wines that will best enhance their flavours, reports the Mirror. For each dish, they've recommended three different wines, providing options for all budgets. Sip - The Hidden Sea Sauvignon Blanc 2024 (13% abv) Australia from Sainsbury's, £8.50 This wine offers flavours of pineapple, gooseberry and citrus along with a subtle fruit-sweetness and a zippy, mouth-watering acidity on the finish, making it the perfect match for smoked salmon and gravadlax. Plus, for every bottle sold of The Hidden Sea, 10 plastic bottles are removed and recycled from the ocean. Save - Andrew Peace Signature Chardonnay 2024 (11% abv), Australia from Co-op, £6.95 This budget-friendly Chardonnay features aromas of white peach, honeysuckle and nutty oak, paired with a bright, citrus and stone fruit palate, restrained oak and a crisp refreshing finish. It pairs wonderfully with fish. Splurge - Baron De Ley Rosado de Lágrima Rioja 2023 (13% abv), Spain from Asda , £10.50. This pale pink wine boasts white blossom aromas enhanced by hints of ripe red fruits. The palate is luscious and fresh, all perfectly balanced. Serve this Provence-style wine chilled as an excellent apéritif and also alongside grilled fish and Asian flavours. Sip - Marisco The King's Wrath Pinot Noir, 2022 (14% abv), New Zealand from Ocado, £18.0
