Christmas Day is a time for indulgence, celebration, and, of course, incredible food and wine. If you’re hosting this year, why not elevate the festivities with the perfect Christmas Day wine pairings? Enter the Christmas Day Mixed Case from Vinohero – a hand-picked selection designed to complement every part of your Christmas feastings.
Christmas day calls for a little sparkle, and the Bonnet Launois Champagne is the ultimate way to kick off the festivities. With its elegant bubbles, bright citrus notes, and hints of brioche, this boutique champagne sets the tone for a luxurious day ahead. Serve it chilled as your guests arrive, and let the lively fizz energise the festive atmosphere. It’s the perfect sip to accompany merry greetings and clinking glasses.
For those delightful canapés, whether it’s smoked salmon blinis, creamy goat’s cheese bites, or even a cheeky prawn cocktail, the Belles du Sud Rosé is your go-to pairing. This Provencal-style rosé is dry, refreshingly light, and delicately fruity, offering red berry aromas with a hint of citrus zest. It’s light enough not to overpower your nibbles but still full of flavour to complement them beautifully.
If your Christmas starter involves smoked salmon (a classic choice), the Picpoul de Pinet Les Flamants will delight palettes. This crisp, zesty white wine from Southern France is packed with citrus and green apple notes that cut through the richness of the salmon, while its minerality echoes the flavours on your plate. Together, they create a harmonious balance of freshness and indulgence.
The centrepiece of your feast deserves a wine that shines as brightly as your fairy lights. The James Martin Chardonnay Marsanne is a sumptuous white burgundy-esque blend with luscious notes of ripe peach, honeydew melon, and a hint of almond. Its medium body and smooth texture make it the ideal match for turkey, chicken, or any lighter Christmas dinner fare. It’s elegant, versatile, and sure to win over white wine lovers.
Prefer red wine with your main course? Enter the Larchago Rioja Reserva, a Spanish gem brimming with black cherry, plum, and subtle vanilla spice. Aged to perfection, its velvety tannins and complex flavours make it the ideal companion for roast meats, from turkey to beef to lamb. This Rioja adds depth and warmth to every bite, making it the quintessential festive red.
No Christmas Day is complete without a show-stopping cheese board, and the Castello di Querceto Chianti from Tuscany is here to seal the deal. With its bright red fruit, herbal undertones, and vibrant acidity, this DOCG Chianti cuts through creamy cheeses like Brie and Camembert while enhancing nutty, aged options like Gouda and Parmesan. It’s a classic, crowd-pleasing choice that will leave your guests smiling well into the evening.
This curated selection takes the guesswork out of wine shopping, ensuring each bottle is perfectly suited to a specific moment of your Christmas Day. From the first toast to the last bite of cheese, every sip enhances the joy and flavour of the season.
So, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself (and your guests) to the Christmas Day Mixed Case from Vinohero and make this year’s festivities truly unforgettable. Cheers to a day full of delicious pairings, great company, and plenty of Christmas magic!
