Christmas Wines, Sorted! Your Guide to Our Christmas Wine Cases

 

From Christmas Eve fizz to the perfect bottle for Christmas lunch, we have done the hard work so you can enjoy the celebrations.

 

Christmas is a time for good food, great wine and, most importantly, enjoying the company of family and friends. But with so much to organise, choosing the right wines for every occasion can feel like another job on an already rather long Christmas list.

 

That's where we come in!

 

We have been busy behind the scenes at The Wine Rooms, putting our experience, knowledge and wine connections to good use. We've tasted, debated and carefully selected a wonderful collection of wines to take you through the festive season, whether you're hosting Christmas lunch, entertaining friends, looking for the perfect gift or simply stocking up on a few favourites.

 

This year, we have created four carefully curated mixed Christmas Wine Cases, plus a fabulous collection of fizz, with something to suit every taste, occasion and budget.

 

Our Everyday Favourites, Classic and Special cases are available in six or twelve bottles, while our Premium Fine Wines and Fabulous Fizz collections are offered as six-bottle cases.

 

And if you'd prefer to choose your own wines, that's absolutely fine too! Pop into The Wine Rooms and we'll happily help you put together a bespoke case tailored to your tastes, Christmas menu and budget.

 

So, pour yourself a glass, get comfortable and let us introduce you to our Christmas collection.

Everyday Favourites Christmas Wine Case

 

Great wines, great value and something for everyone.

£75 for 6 bottles (normally £90)

£140 for 12 bottles (normally £180)

Sometimes the best wines are the ones you know and love. Our Everyday Favourites case brings together some of the most popular bottles from The Wine Rooms, whether enjoyed by the glass in the shop or taken home to share.

These are reliable crowd-pleasers that consistently punch well above their price tags, making this the perfect case for relaxed Christmas entertaining, family gatherings and keeping everyone happy over the holidays.

And yes, of course, we've included our famous Primitivo Appassimento. We couldn't possibly leave it out!

Alongside it, you'll discover a delicious Rosé Crémant, elegant Provence Rosé, warming red Côtes du Rhône, refreshing Vinho Verde and a lovely Italian Falanghina.

What shall we eat with them?

 

• Primitivo Appassimento: Rich, ripe and wonderfully smooth. A brilliant partner for roast beef, glazed ham, hearty casseroles or a Boxing Day cheeseboard featuring mature Cheddar.
• Rosé Crémant: Bring out the bubbles with smoked salmon blinis, prawns, canapés or simply enjoy a glass while opening presents.
• Provence Rosé: Don't put the rosé away just because it's winter! Delicious with smoked salmon, pâté, charcuterie and lighter festive nibbles.
• Côtes du Rhône: A natural match for roast lamb, sausages, winter stews and leftover turkey pie.
• Vinho Verde: Light, fresh and lively. Perfect with prawns, oysters, seafood starters and those irresistible salty party snacks.
• Falanghina: A lovely choice for roast chicken or turkey, creamy pasta dishes, seafood and vegetable-based starters.

Mike's tip: If you're hosting a crowd over Christmas and want a good selection of wines without spending a fortune, this is a brilliant place to start.

Classic Christmas Wine Case

 

A little more character, a little more indulgence.

£90 for 6 bottles (normally £110)

£175 for 12 bottles (normally £220)

Our Classic Christmas Wine Case takes some of our customers' favourite wines and turns things up a notch.

These are wines with a little more depth, personality and complexity, perfect for those who enjoy discovering something interesting in their glass without breaking the Christmas budget.

This collection brings together six wonderful wines, from the rich, velvety character of our Georgian Saperavi and the impressive 'Les Six' Cairanne Cru to the beautifully textured Secateurs Chenin Blanc and elegant AIX Provence Rosé. We've also included a lovely white Cairanne and a bottle of Rosé Crémant to get the celebrations started.

What shall we eat with them?

 

• Georgian Saperavi: Rich dark fruits, gentle spice and velvety tannins make this a fantastic match for slow-roasted lamb, beef Wellington, venison or a hearty mushroom dish.
• 'Les Six' Cairanne: A beautifully structured Rhône red, perfect with roast beef, duck, lamb or a rich Boxing Day casserole.
• Rosé Crémant: Festive bubbles that are wonderful with smoked salmon blinis, prawns, canapés and savoury pastries. A lovely way to welcome guests on Christmas Day.
• AIX Provence Rosé: Elegant, fresh and wonderfully versatile. Delicious with charcuterie, smoked salmon, roast Mediterranean vegetables and lighter festive lunches. Who says rosé is just for summer?
• Argiles Blanches Cairanne: A beautifully textured white from the Southern Rhône, with lovely richness and freshness. An excellent match for roast turkey, creamy chicken dishes, scallops or baked fish. A fabulous alternative to white Burgundy for Christmas lunch.
• Secateurs Chenin Blanc: Rich, textured and wonderfully versatile. Try it with roast turkey and bread sauce, roast pork, creamy fish pie or baked Camembert.

Mike's tip: If you're looking for one case to see you through Christmas, this is a brilliant choice. Start with the Rosé Crémant and a few canapés, enjoy the Argiles Blanches or Secateurs Chenin Blanc with your turkey, and bring out the Saperavi or 'Les Six' for the richer dishes and Boxing Day leftovers.

Special Christmas Wine Case

 

When Christmas calls for something a little more special.

£125 for 6 bottles (normally £151)

£240 for 12 bottles (normally £303)

We don't use the word special lightly at The Wine Rooms.

This collection has been selected for its quality, elegance and distinction. These are wines with a little more pedigree, from celebrated regions and talented winemakers, chosen to make those memorable Christmas moments even better.

If you're planning a particularly lovely Christmas lunch, hosting a dinner party or looking for an impressive gift for a wine lover, this case is a wonderful choice.

Inside you'll find a gorgeous Menetou-Salon Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, neighbouring the famous vineyards of Sancerre; Minuty Prestige Provence Rosé; Bouché Champagne; the outstanding Contino Rioja Reserva; an elegant Mâcon-Villages white Burgundy; and a beautifully crafted organic, oak-aged red from Portugal's Alentejo region.

Six distinctive wines, each with something rather lovely to offer.

What shall we eat with them?

 

• Menetou-Salon: Crisp, elegant and mineral. A beautiful match for oysters, smoked salmon, seafood, goat's cheese and delicate fish dishes.
• Minuty Prestige Provence Rosé: A sophisticated rosé that's wonderful with prawns, lobster, crab, charcuterie and lighter festive starters.
• Bouché Champagne: Start Christmas Day in style! Enjoy with oysters, smoked salmon, gougères, Parmesan biscuits or a selection of elegant canapés.
• Contino Rioja Reserva: Rich, beautifully balanced and wonderfully food-friendly. Perfect with roast lamb, beef Wellington, duck, aged Manchego or a generous Boxing Day cheeseboard.
• Mâcon-Villages White Burgundy: A lovely partner for roast turkey with all the trimmings, creamy chicken dishes, baked fish, scallops or a rich cauliflower cheese.
• Organic Oak-Aged Alentejo Red: Generous, smooth and full of character. Try it with roast beef, slow-cooked lamb, venison or a rich mushroom Wellington.

Mike's tip: If you're wondering what to open with Christmas lunch, the Mâcon-Villages is an excellent choice for turkey, while the Contino Rioja Reserva will be a real treat for those who prefer red.

Premium Fine Wines Christmas Case

Fabulous, famous and quite simply exceptional.

£199 for 6 bottles (normally £253.97)

For those occasions when only the very best will do.

Our Premium Fine Wines Christmas Case brings together six outstanding wines from some of the world's most celebrated wine regions and respected winemakers. These are wines of real distinction, carefully selected for their craftsmanship, elegance and sheer drinking pleasure.

From a magnificent Premier Cru Burgundy and a beautifully aromatic Condrieu to exceptional Champagne, elegant Provence Rosé, a top-class Argentinian Malbec and a pristine Loire Valley Sancerre, this is a truly luxurious collection.

Whether you're planning an unforgettable Christmas lunch, treating someone special or simply looking for an excuse to open something extraordinary, this case is guaranteed to impress.

What shall we eat with them?

• M. Chapoutier Invitare Condrieu: One of Mike's absolute favourites! A beautifully rich and aromatic Viognier from the Northern Rhône. Exceptional with gently spiced Asian dishes, creamy chicken, lobster, scallops or roast turkey with a rich sauce.
• Louis Jadot Beaune Premier Cru: An elegant and refined Pinot Noir from Burgundy, with delicate red fruits and earthy complexity. A wonderful match for roast duck, pheasant, venison, mushroom Wellington or anything involving truffles.
• Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve Champagne: One of our all-time favourite Champagnes, offering extraordinary richness, complexity and exceptional value. Perfect with oysters, smoked salmon, lobster, Parmesan gougères or simply raising a glass on Christmas Day.
• Château Roubine Lion & Dragon Cru Classé Rosé: Provence rosé at its most sophisticated. Elegant, beautifully balanced and delicious with smoked salmon, prawns, charcuterie, cold meats and Boxing Day buffets.
• Zuccardi 'José' Malbec: An exceptional Argentinian Malbec created by Sebastián Zuccardi in honour of his father. Rich, elegant and beautifully structured, it's a magnificent partner for beef Wellington, roast rib of beef, venison or mature cheeses.
• Joseph Mellot Sancerre: A pristine and elegant Sauvignon Blanc from one of our favourite Loire Valley producers. Wonderfully crisp and mineral, making it a perfect match for oysters, smoked salmon, prawns, seafood starters and goat's cheese.

Mike's tip: This is the case I'd choose for a truly special Christmas. Start with Charles Heidsieck Champagne, enjoy the Sancerre with your seafood starter, and open the Beaune Premier Cru with roast duck or the Zuccardi Malbec with beef Wellington. And if you're looking for something a little different, the Condrieu is one of my absolute favourite wines in the shop. A real treat!

Fabulous Fizz Christmas Case

 

Because Christmas deserves a little sparkle!

£180 for 6 bottles (normally £232)

Whether you're raising a glass on Christmas Eve, welcoming guests on Christmas Day or celebrating the arrival of the New Year, it's always worth having something sparkling ready to open.

Our Fabulous Fizz Case brings together an exceptional selection of Champagne and sparkling wines, including:

• Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve: Rich, complex and beautifully elegant. Wonderful with oysters, smoked salmon and festive canapés.
• Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve: Sophisticated and expressive, with lovely red fruit character. Try it with duck, salmon, tuna or charcuterie.

• Ferghettina Franciacorta: A beautifully crafted Italian sparkling wine, wonderful with antipasti, seafood risotto, creamy cheeses and delicate starters.
• Kleine Zalze Cap Classique: South African sparkling wine with lovely freshness and finesse. A fabulous partner for prawns, smoked salmon blinis and Christmas party food.

Mike's tip: Don't save all your fizz for midnight on New Year's Eve. Sparkling wine is one of the most versatile food partners around, and a good bottle of Champagne can be just as enjoyable with Christmas lunch as it is with the first toast of the evening.
