12 Wines of Christmas

Our 12 Wines of Christmas

It can be daunting picking what wines to enjoy over the Festive Season. It can be a time to treat yourself and try something new, or go for an elevated version of your usual favourites. For some Christmas means Champagne, for others, it’s all about great value options to save budget for other things!

Whatever your wine needs are this Christmas, we can help you find them. As a place to start, we have compiled our “12 Wines of Christmas“, four favourites from each of us at Cockburns: Peigidh, Andy and James. Join us on Instagram every day at 5pm, or read on below!

1: Chambelle & Co. NV

“My sparkling choice this Christmas is Chambelle & Co. NV! Christmas is always the time of year that my grandparents find out the Champagne they’ve bought throughout the year and squirrelled away, but for a more affordable alternative, this crémant is absolutely excellent. It is made in the traditional method, and has been a faithful and fantastic go-to throughout my time working here, a favourite among our team and those who have tried it at one of our tastings. Looking forward to having some on Christmas day! (Maybe even with a splash of the Tayport Raspberry Liqueur, another absolute favourite)” – Peigidh

Chambelle & Co NV, Lebrin Vins Libre, Loire, France, 12% – £17.99

2: Hunter’s Sauvignon Blanc

“I decided to keep it simple and go for what I have actually bought for Christmas this year, which is the Hunter’s Sauvignon Blanc! It’s the perfect expression of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, from the family who pioneered the wine in Marlborough. It’s always good value at £15.99, but it’s been in our Black Friday Sale at £11.99 which is even better! We have always gravitated towards Sauvignon Blanc in my family, and while it’s been amazing going on a wine education journey at Cockburns, it’s also nice to go back to the classics sometimes.”” – Peigidh

Hunter’s Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Marlborough, New Zealand, 11.8% – £15.99
