Entertaining this Christmas
|
If you’ve ever hosted Christmas, you’ll know it can be hard work. Who’s coming? What’s cooking? Why are we a chair short? There’s so much to plan – and what to drink with each meal can sometimes require as much quiet thought in advance as organising the presents themselves. We’d like to take one headache out of your Christmas preparations by making your wine choices that little bit simpler. From a celebratory toast of Champagne to a crisp Premier Cru Chablis or a melt-in-your mouth glass of 2000 Barolo, we present below a selection of wines to wow your guests – and with 10% off an unmixed 6-bottle case, you can afford to cover all eventualities. Find out more from the list below or see further seasonal offers here. |

Elegant Whites From a refreshing glass of Sancerre to help you get through the cooking, to a rich and rewarding Meursault to complement the turkey, we’re sure you’ll find a white wine here that will please even the most fastidious of palates. We hope you’ll find keeping them pleased easier, too, with 10% off any unmixed 6-bottle case. |
Convivial Reds Gorgeous food deserves gorgeous wine. We’ve chosen some classics for you to indulge in this Christmas, all with the weight to match even the richest of dishes. With 10% off any unmixed 6-bottle case, we hope you enjoy lingering that little bit longer. |

Stuff the Turkey For those difficult guests; vegetarians, pescetarians or just plain picky eaters: What to serve and the best wines to go with it. Simon Staples, Berrys’ Fine Wine Director, suggests some alternative feasts. |
In the Mood for Mixing Take the hard work out of choosing your Christmas wines with a ready-made case (or two) that includes a mixture of our favourite reds and whites. The perfect solution for those of us who just want to put our feet (and our elbows!) up this holiday season. |

Casa Lapostolle are the blue bloods of the Chilean wine world, their ownership boasting impressive French connections, directly through the Marnier family (of Grand Marnier fame) and indirectly through Champagne Roederer. The wines, unsurprisingly, marry the natural benevolence for which Chile is ... MORE | ||||

"Jean-Luc Terrier has increased the quality of this new cuvée, introducting 25% oak for ageing. The fruit is sourced in the Mâconnais but this wine challenges the Côte de Beaune in terms of quality. We blend together several cuvees to make this delightful introduction to white ... MORE | ||||

This is the last tranche of the 2006 cuvée, which we blended with iconoclast and native Champenois Jean-Louis Denois in the Spring of 2007. We tried to keep the dosage to a lowish level and asked for extra time on the lees; both requests were granted and have resulted in a wine, now ... MORE | ||||

I love this wine. There’s something so incredibly warming about it; the rich red fruit, the cinnamon spice, the creamy finish… sub £10 Rioja at its very best. Once you’ve got past the whopping dollop of vanilla on the nose, there’s a beautifully balancing acidity, ... MORE | ||||

Sourced from the very best villages in the Southern Rhône, namely Valréas, Vinsobres and Rasteau, this is a fantastic Côtes Du Rhône , self-evidently punching above its putative weight. This is more than confirmed by the palate; sweet Grenache at the core but with plenty ... MORE | ||||

Ludwig and Maria Angeles are especially pleased with their 2008, an eponymous mirror which, somehow, reflects more than the so-so quality of the vintage. This is testimony to the age of the vines and their increasing skill of the wine-makers. Capiscum, white pepper and hints of pear and peach can ... MORE | ||||

Richer, rounded, fleshier, perhaps easier on the eye at a younger age than its Pouilly-Fume stablemate, the palate treats us to waves of fleshy citrus, crunchy fruit, held tight by a neat minerally structure. Benchmark plus. One for fowl or river fish. (David Berry Green, BBR Buyer) Drink 2008-2010 . BBR Score: 18/20 | ||||
