Two special mixed case offers

Food-friendly wine for the Christmas table

While the festive season brings with it work parties and nights out aplenty, the most eagerly anticipated aspect of the festive period must surely be that warm, fuzzy feeling induced by the gathering of friends and loved ones around the dinner table. Both the homely comforts of Christmas Eve supper and the prolonged, sumptuous banquet of Christmas lunch certainly call for some decent drinking material. The delights of baked ham, roast turkey and Brussel sprouts are taken to another level in the company of a velvety rich claret or a toasty, appley Chenin Blanc.

Firm in this belief, I've put together a selection of drinkables to serve alongside your Christmas foodie favourites. They are all substantial enough to stand up to the richness of festive fare, and along with the perhaps more traditional choices are a few less obvious selections to dust a little sparkle on your Christmas spread.

Below are two assorted cases which cater to parties of varying sizes, as well as a few suggestions for serving the wines alongside your Christmas menu. /RRS
