For the Big Day
Red or white – it’s your choice with poultry
CLASSIC RED
Definition Claret 2010, Montagne St Emilion, France, 14%, £12.99 (£9.74 when you buy any 2 bottles on 25% discount), Majestic
Majestic’s new Definition range of classics is spot on with this Christmas regular, red Bordeaux. Mainly Merlot grapes give it a cherry-fruited charm. Serve from a decanter for added glamour.
MODERN RED
The Lot Series Priorat 2014, Spain, 14.5%, £9.99, Aldi
Seek out the five wines in the well-priced Lot Series, all by leading producers. My favourite is this pure and spicy Garnacha, from expert Ricard Rofes. It’s perfect with the flavours of Christmas.
CLASSIC WHITE
M Signature Chablis Premier Cru 2012, France, 12.5%, £14.99, Morrisons
The shelves are groaning with Chablis at this time…
