It's already time for one of the biggest dinners of the year: Christmas dinner. While you've been searching for weeks for the perfect dish to serve your guests, of course, you also need to figure out which wines go well with it. Let us give you a hand with this blog. Below we list the wines we recommend for Christmas dinner.
Red wine lovers
For red wine lovers, we recommend the Pinot Noir. It is a common wine with subtle flavors of cherry and spice. The flavors are perfect for Christmas dinner or any other festive meal.
Pinot Noir
If you prefer a slightly stouter wine, we recommend the Malbec or Merlot. The Malbec is identified by flavors of plum and chocolate. While the Merlot is softer and fruitier.

For white wine lovers
If you are more the type who likes white wine then there are lots of good options and it is sometimes difficult to choose. If you are looking for a white wine that is more refreshing with food, we recommend going for a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. The Sauvignon Blanc is a wine that has a bit more citrus flavor and pairs well with dishes such as chicken and fish. Chardonnay is slightly stronger in flavor and goes better with turkey or pork dishes. Should you be looking for a slightly sweeter wine, a Riesling is always a good option as well.

For sweet wine lovers
Of course, a good desert wine cannot be missing when you put so much time and effort into a Christmas dinner. In addition, of course, there are always those who love a sweeter wine. For this, we recommend Moscato. Moscato is a very popular wine because it is so sweet and has a very low alcohol percentage relatively speaking.

Looking for a wine that is slightly less sweet than the Moscato. Then you can always opt for a Prosecco or a Beaujolais Nouveau. Prosecco are wines that are sweet and fruity with a bubble and the Beaujolais Nouveau is a young red wine with flavors like grapefruit and strawberries.
