JUST IN CASE

A savvy assortment of 12 wines to have on hand over the holidays.

- By James Chatto

Twelve wines to have on hand over the holidays featuring six food-friendly varietals with a splurge for special occasions, and a more affordable option of great value.

Feeling like a bit of a splurge? Or are you just looking for a wine for everyday drinking? Our latest mixed case offers examples of both. We’ve chosen six different varietals that have roles to play during the festive season, then selected a highend bottle and a less pricey star that delivers a big bang for your buck. Sometimes the two wines are in very different styles—as with our Chardonnay­s—but sometimes they’re aiming at the same target. In which case it can be instructiv­e to taste both of them, blind, side by side. Will the expensive wine always please you more? It’s a good way to explore your own tastes and preference­s.
