Wine bores: how to avoid ordering the obvious this Christmas | Fiona Beckett on drinks
Briefly

This year, I've been drinking Greek, Georgian and even Brazilian wine...I do quite like the idea of being disruptive and serving a Georgian saperavi such as the exotic Tbilvino from Kakheti.
Similarly, English chardonnay such as Black Chalk's very cool-looking Rumour Has It is an interesting, albeit no less expensive alternative to chablis, while any big, lip-smacking GSM (grenache, syrah, mourvedre) blend or simple grenache will do duty for chateauneuf-du-pape.
Arguably, they're all good with traditional Christmas fare, but their prices generally reflect that...So why not branch out on the wine, too?
