Fred Sirieix’s Christmas case comprises a hand-picked selection of high-quality M&S wines to take all the hard work out of choosing bottles for the big day
With all the hard work that goes into planning Christmas dinner, choosing the drinks to have on the table can often end up as an afterthought. That’s why this Christmas, M&S is here to solve all your ‘wine worries’ with the help of wine expert and TV personality Fred Sirieix, who has hand-selected a convenient case of the best wines for the big day.
‘Fred’s Christmas Case‘ contains six carefully chosen bottles designed to take the stress out of selecting the perfect drinks for Christmas Day. The case offers handy wine pairings for every stage of your Christmas menu, from welcome drinks and canapés to mains, puddings and even the festive cheese board.
Though usually retailing at £85, cases ordered before 29th November will receive a 20% discount, meaning customers can get their hands on Fred’s ultimate wine case for just £68. Beat the festive rush and get your case delivered straight to your door, so all that’s left to do is to sit back, relax, and open the next bottle!
Welcome guests with a glass of Found Asti Secco, a brilliant bubbly that’s ideal with savoury nibbles. Then for your starters a good Collection Chablis is a must at Christmas and goes perfectly with smoked salmon, while Fred has paired M&S’s delicious Expressions Ribolla Gialla from Italy with your turkey and trimmings. If you’re having beef (or want to save a bottle for a Boxing Day ham) then look no further than the Collection Châteauneuf-du-Pape which has all your favourite festive flavours – berries, cloves, and cinnamon.
And who can forget pudding? Fred’s choice is a classic Sauternes – “liquid gold” – which is fabulous served chilled alongside fruity desserts or lighter creamy puddings. And if you’ve still got room, he’s picked M&S’s Classics No.41 Finest Reserve Port to enjoy with your cheeseboard, with its fruity sweetness that matches an array of different cheeses.
