Best Dessert Wine for Christmas
The best dessert wine for Christmas is the one that makes the last course feel like a treat in its own right. At Mr Wheeler Wine, our team has chosen sweet wines with a bit of festive generosity. Think golden, honeyed Sauternes with notes of apricot and peach, luscious Rutherglen Muscat full of rich, raisined fruit and Port for those who like their evenings to run long.
Pour Sauternes alongside a creamy tart, a trifle or bowl of fruit, and read for Muscat when the Christmas Pudding or fruitcake arrives. Port is made for the cheeseboard, especially a good blue. If you’re not sure where to start, a half bottle is a sensible way to try something new without committing to a full bottle.
However you finish your Christmas meal, you’ll find a dessert wine here that makes it feel like a proper occasion.
