Unwrap the Magic: The Wine Shop's Perfect Christmas Wine & Bubbles Case 🎄🍷🥂
The cosy nights are drawing in and we're starting to think about Christmas. We are delighted to share our Christmas Wine & Bubbles Case — twelve bottles chosen to carry you from Christmas morning through to Boxing Day and beyond.
Watch: Unboxing the Christmas Case
Starting with Bubbles
Italy — Sparkling Rosé
A fantastic wine for sharing with friends or for opening on Christmas morning. Lovely, fresh, and fruity — it pairs beautifully with strawberries and pastries. A great Christmas breakfast idea.
South Africa — Cap Classique
Jacques Bruère Cap Classique Brut
Made in the same style as Champagne with extensive lees ageing, so it's lovely and rich and toasty. A great wine for raising a toast on Christmas Day, or having with a mince pie before lunch.
Whites for Christmas Week
Hungary — Grüner Veltliner
Little Cricket Grüner Veltliner
Really zesty, very fruity, light, and easy-drinking. We recommend this one when friends are coming over during Christmas week and you want to open something to share — a lovely little wine.
Spain — Verdejo
This would pair really nicely with fish — we recommend it for Christmas Eve if you're going for a traditional fish dinner. A beautifully clean, aromatic Verdejo.
Bordeaux, France — Blanc
A blend of Sauvignon and Sémillon — lovely and dry, nice and fruity. It pairs really well with starters such as smoked salmon and cream cheese, or a goat's cheese salad.
For Christmas Dinner
Veneto, Italy — White
Famiglia Pasqua Passimento Blanco
A really rich, lovely wine with lots of tropical flavours, a nice long mouthfeel, and reasonably full-bodied. Fantastically paired with turkey — our white wine recommendation for Christmas dinner.
New Zealand — Pinot Noir
A beautiful light style of red, great for having with turkey, but with a nice bit of earthiness and a meaty texture that makes it genuinely interesting. Our red wine recommendation for Christmas dinner.
Bordeaux, France — Red
Pont-a-Pierre Lussac Saint-Emilion
A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon — a bit richer, a bit bolder, with lots of black fruits and a nice smooth finish. For those who prefer a fuller style of red with their Christmas dinner.
Boxing Day and Beyond
Puglia, Italy — Red
Marchese di Borgosole Salice Salentino
A smooth, very fruity red from the south of Italy. It pairs beautifully with beef — so if you're thinking of a beef wellington or another rich beef dish during Christmas week, this would be perfect.
Spain — Tempranillo Crianza
Tiempo y Tierra Tempranillo Crianza
Very similar to Rioja, with lots of black fruits and a lovely note of vanilla. A great one for Boxing Day — perhaps with your leftovers.
Dessert Wines
Port — Ruby
Windsor Special Reserve Ruby Port
A really fruity style of port — great with your Christmas Day dessert or Christmas cake, or later in the day when you're opening presents and unwinding.
Bordeaux, France — Sauternes
A beautiful sweet wine from the Bordeaux region, with lots of honey, lots of apricot, and a little spice. A perfect accompaniment to desserts over Christmas, or simply for enjoying with friends and family.
