Wondering which wines will compliment your Christmas celebrations? From festive fizz to after dinner sherry our partners at Morrisons have compiled a three part guide to the finest wines to drink over the festive season. In Part One, we explore all things bubbly from the finest champagne to toast our friends and family to Christmas morning Bucks Fizz - as well as a suggestion to compliment a spicy Boxing Day curry.
From the 24/11/21 until 12/12/21 all The Best wines offer Buy 3 Save 25%.
The best champagne
Only 18% of vineyards in Champagne are allowed to use Premier Cru status. This one has a high proportion of Pinot Noir to give rich baked apple and toast flavours. A real Christmas treat.

Tangy and refreshing with even more Christmassy Clementine juice flavour this year. Perfect to get Christmas day underway with a sparkle!

Stunning value and a fantastic alternative to Champagne this Christmas. An outstanding English fizz from 2010 with rich, complex nutty flavours earned from many years of ageing in bottle. Delicious with a smoked salmon starter.
