Indeed.

Christmas dinner is a bit of a strange one for wine as it can lend itself to the consumption of red or white. Typically a white meat would be enjoyed with a white wine but as turkey is a little more rich / gamey a red also does well. Also Christmas dinner in itself doesn't have any overly strong flavours so a good full bodied red could be enjoyed with being overpowered by the food.

For a white you can't beat a good bottle of lightly chilled Chablis, pricey but worth it for Christmas day, a Pinot Noir would be a good light red to have, and for something fuller bodied think Cabinet Sauvigion or Shiraz or a blend of them.

Anyway in an attempt to cover all bases had two red and one white mixed cases delivered (36 bottles) earlier on in the month so should be ok, have had to test a few already, hic

Well, seeing as you are a Strongbow drinker you obviously aren't too fussy about what you throw down your neck, so I don't suppose it really matter which wine you go for does it?

Prefer red myself. Montes Alpha Cab Sav my fave around the £10 a bottle mark.

Oyster bay is a nice easy drinking white.
