PORTUGUESE FISH STEW While tomatoes are known for being tricky to wine match, a dry rosé with lots of berry flavours will be delicious with this sweet and smokey stew. Try Muga Rioja Rosado 2016, Majestic, £11.99.

SPICED SHORT RIBS This rich and fragrant beef dish needs a concentrated and fruity wine with a touch of sweet spice and liquorice. Tesco Finest* Hawke’s Bay Syrah 2016, Tesco, £10, really complements and enhances the flavours.

MEXICAN PORK PIBIL A soft, earthy red wine with subtle tobacco and vanilla notes, black fruit flavours and a gentle spice, the Tesco Finest* Viña del Cura Rioja Gran Reserva 2011, £11, pairs beautifully with this dish.

SWEET AND SOUR DHAL The lovely range of spices and tangy twist to this dahl, calls for a ripe, fruity white wine with just a hint of sweetness to stand up to the spice. We’d suggest the elegant Ara Single Vineyard Pinot Gris, Waitrose, £10.99. Fragrant and fruity.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND SQUASH RISOTTO An indulgent and flavoursome risotto like this needs a bright, fruity white with just a touch of viscous richness to it. Look out for the tangy, peachy Co-op Irresistible Viognier 2016, £7.49.

CHICKEN WITH LEEK, ROSEMARY AND CHEDDAR DUMPLINGS The delicate, ripe stone fruit flavours and balanced rich, yet elegant finish to the Taste the Difference Cotes du Rhone White 2016, Sainsbury’s, £7, works well with this indulgent winter warmer.
