<\/p>\n

Christmas is a time for celebration\u2014especially after the year we\u2019ve all gone through! This year, make sure your holiday season is paired with scrumptious wine that will light up your taste buds like a Christmas tree. We love the idea of wine tasting on December 25; you\u2019ll eat so many yummy things, you might as well have the wine to match with it. Discover some of the most <\/span>festive wines to serve on Christmas Day<\/b> below. You won\u2019t want to miss it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Blanc de Blancs<\/span><\/h2>\n

Looking for a sparkling to sip on while you munch on a beautifully prepared charcuterie board? Grab a bottle of a Brut Blanc de Blancs\u2014it\u2019s a stunning go-to for the holidays since it\u2019s so versatile. Though this isn\u2019t the bubbly that you\u2019ll want to mix with orange juice, its notes of lemon curd, golden apple, and almond make it work with anything on the table.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s good enough on its own while you unwrap presents! If you\u2019d prefer more of a pink sparkling, opt for Blanc de Noirs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chianti Classico Riserva<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you aren\u2019t feeling full-bodied wine, then opt for this instead. Few styles of medium-bodied reds are as appropriate and universal to all your dinner pairings as Chianti. Italians made it right\u2014implementing notes of cherries, plums, and sweet spices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try it out with those flavorful dishes and mature cheeses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Viognier<\/span><\/h2>\n

Want a wine that can taste similar to eggnog? That\u2019s what you\u2019ll get with the right bottle of Viognier. It\u2019s got an exotic spice to it, paired with a fuller body. In fact, it\u2019s a wine that\u2019ll compete with you Chardonnay lovers\u2014especially if you pick a Reserve bottle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This bottle will go well with your fishy appetizers, the turkey and ham on the table, and even your sweet potatoes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Etna Bianco<\/span><\/h2>\n

Speaking of fish, if that\u2019s what the family serves, then you\u2019ll want a mineral white. Even if your family simply chooses saltier dishes, then you\u2019ll want something with enough richness to keep up with the dish, and enough brightness to make it enjoyable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Made from the Carricante grape on Mount Etna in Sicily, these bottles will have a nice saltiness paired with riper flavors (dried apple and apricot). It\u2019s the variety you\u2019ve been looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barbera<\/span><\/h2>\n

Next up, another red that\u2019s versatile and crowd-pleasing. Barbera is low in tannins, high in acidity, and full of dark red fruits\u2014dark cheery, dried strawberry, plum, and blackberry. Then the spices come in with notes of violets and rosemary; it\u2019s truly a wine that can charm all wine drinkers. Grab a bottle of this if you\u2019ve grown tired of Nebbiolo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Late Harvest Dessert Wines<\/span><\/h2>\n

Last on our list of <\/span>festive wines to serve on Christmas Day<\/b> is that of dessert wines\u2014Late Harvest wines, to be exact! You can choose a Late Harvest Riesling, a Sauternais, a Muscat, or a Vidal Blanc. Pick your sweet poison and eat it with a cookie, a pie, or even as you sip on some eggnog!<\/span><\/p>\n
