To make things easier this Christmas we’re recommending three versatile Christmas wines that are perfect to serve throughout Christmas dinner. We begin with a delicious Champagne to start the celebrations and accompany your starters. Our classic French Sancerre will also match well with starters but also work with the classic Christmas mains. Our exceptional Aussie red will suit richer meat dishes and will also pair with your cheeseboard.
So, with three delicious artisan wines to see you through the big day, just the glasses to polish and the napkins to fold!
Happy Christmas from the Team at O’Briens
