Rebecca chooses Australian Sparkling Shiraz to go with her Christmas pudding. It’s a deep rich, port like wine, but with a fizzy freshness. In fact this might be the only wine you need on Christmas Day as it is perfect with roast turkey and lashings of cranberry sauce, strong cheddar, roast ham, chocolate and even some blue cheeses!
Rebecca Dunphy shares some top wine tasting tips on how to choose the best white wine to go with Christmas Turkey. She opts for richer whites, a Chardonnay from St Veran available from M&S; Novas Viognier from Vintage Roots and Zuccardi’s Blanc de Blancs from Cambrige Wine Merchants. Enjoy your wine on Christmas Day!
Rebecca Dunphy helps you pick out the best Prosecco. Look out for the newly legislated superior level above DOC, the DOCG. She only finds one on the supermarket shelves, Sainsbury’s ‘Taste the Difference’ Prosecco, DOCG.
Wine tasting tip – What to drink with Rhubarb Fool? Moscato d’Asti, with it’s perfumed freshness is perfect for this traditional pud. My favourite is from Prunotto.
