Best Christmas Wines for the Wine Lover
You might feel overwhelmed by the vast selection of wines available to choose from for a Christmas party or dinner. Let me try to break down the wine selection process a little bit. When you pick a suitable wine for a party with a group of friends; cheap Champagne would do it, whereas a more formal Christmas party with family and in-laws’ would require something more along the lines of classic berry fruit Bourgogne Pinot. The selection of Christmas wine is thus to be based on the type of event and the impression one wants to make. You therefore still have a great number of wines to choose from, but without putting your foot in it, so to speak.
Some people prefer Red wine for the merry happenings around Christmas dinners and parties, while great many others select white wines for the party table. As an example of a wine which has its place on any Christmas table, a Sancerre Blanc, Dom. des Clairneaux – a delicious and stylish white wine that drinks early or aged.
When it comes to select drinks for regular Christmas parties; Chardonnay is a safe bet in white wines. Chardonnay is ideally combined with poultry and seafood dishes, like pork, lobsters, and scallops. South African Chardonnays offer good value for money. Common flavors are fruity melon, apple, lemon, tangerine, and buttered oak. In spite of its high profile, Chardonnay is not expensive and you could get a bottle of great tasting wine without spending too much. Chardonnay wines are just perfect for a dinner and karaoke party. The lightless of Chardonnay makes it the perfect complement to a perfect social happening.
