"I make the same mistake every single year. And that mistake it this: I underprepare. How is that possible, Hannah? you may well be asking. You're a wine writer with presumably dozens of half-drunk bottles in your flat at any given time? It's because I spend Christmas with my parents, who live about two hours away by train, and there's no way I'm risking the spill of any bottles on EMR."
"What I really need to do is not leave things to the last minute, and instead order ahead. And not just for Christmas dinner, either, but for every moment of the day. From the opening of presents to the falling asleep in front of the umpteenth viewing of The Good Life Christmas special, each instance calls for something entirely different to meet the moment. First things first Castellore Organico Organic Prosecco Rose DOC 7.99 Aldi, 11%."
I underprepare for Christmas and typically bring only a few bottles, risking running out by Christmas Eve. Traveling two hours by train creates a spill risk that limits what can be carried. Ordering wines in advance prevents last-minute shortages and allows choosing drinks for specific moments across the day. Recommendations include sparkling options such as Castellore Organico Prosecco Rosé, Ca' di Rajo Lemoss Frizzante, Westwell Wicken Foy English sparkling and Telmont Champagne Reserve Brut, each with tasting notes and prices. Non-alcoholic alternatives include Copenhagen sparkling tea, Oddbird Spumante and Bunta non-alcoholic citrus lager.
