Christmas dinner is the perfect time for wine to set the mood. At PerfecteWijn, we choose wines that naturally contribute to a relaxing evening, whether you're enjoying a leisurely dinner or gathering around the gourmet grill with the whole family. These five wines cover all the Christmas scenarios and each one creates wonderful moments at the table.
1. The real Christmas cracker: Pira Barolo Serralunga
For those who really want to make a splash, this is the wine that sets the tone. The Pira Barolo is a classic commune (blend of several vineyards) from Serralunga and immediately feels like a centerpiece on the table. It's the kind of bottle that will bring the conversation to a halt during a festive main course. Perfect for a luxurious Christmas dinner where you want to make an impression without using words.
2. The best affordable white choice: Enate 234 Chardonnay
Sometimes you just want a wine that fits the style and price. The Enate Chardonnay is one such option. It's a Chardonnay that's definitely not too heavy, yet it's a real hit with many people. It pairs perfectly with appetizers and refreshing Christmas classics. A firm favorite at PerfecteWijn and a safe, festive choice for almost any guest.
3. The gourmet wine of this Christmas: The Cantine Paradiso 1954
Gourmet dining demands a wine that can easily handle various small bites. This Cantine Primitivo does just that effortlessly. It's one of the most popular wines at Vivino for good reason. With its warm, expansive style, it's a bottle everyone enjoys to top up while the gourmet grill is cooking. This is the wine that moves with you throughout the evening, from meat and vegetables to crispy side dishes. Ideal for long, convivial family moments.
4. The luxury classic: Biscardo Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
An Amarone is the perfect accompaniment to a Christmas dinner that offers a little something extra. Biscardo Amarone is made using the traditional method of drying grapes first, giving the wine impressive depth. This is the bottle that shines alongside stews, game, or a festive pasta dish with truffles. A wine with grandeur for a dinner that will be remembered for a long time.
5. The festive finale: Cascina Ghercina Moscato d'Asto
Christmas desserts call for a wine that combines lightness and festivity. This Moscato is just that: cheerful bubbles that pair perfectly with pavlova, cheesecake, lemon desserts, or a plate of Christmas cookies. An ideal ending that elegantly rounds off the evening.
Which wine goes best with your Christmas dinner?
When you're serving a wide variety of dishes, a versatile wine like the 1954 Primitivo is incredibly helpful. For those who focus on luxury cuisine, the choice is simple: Barolo or Amarone will instantly elevate a menu. And with Chardonnay and a touch of Moscato alongside your dishes, you can complete the dinner from start to finish.
