Raise a glass: Christmas tipples

For Christmas dinner, match your wine to the wide array of flavours by keeping things simple, says Rob Buckhaven

1) Duck delight

El Guia Tinto Garnacha (£3.99, Waitrose Wine Direct) has notes of Spanish spiced plum that bond well with the deep, smoky flavour of the duck and a redcurrant zing-in-the-tail that picks up the pomegranate.

 2) Turkey sizzler

Simply Pinot Noir (£5.99, Tesco) is a dream team of flavours that wraps the zesty turkey in a light, raspberry blanket and uses its cherry charm to bring out the beetroot’s sweeter side.

 3) Choco chum

Seriously Plummy Maury (£9.99, Ocado) brings some fulsome flavours to the table, which will steep the chocolate roulade in sweet plum compote notes and allow the tangy cranberries to shine.
