Can't wait to fill your stomachs with food and fancy drinks? It's probably that time of the year where we celebrate festive holidays with a grand feast. Drinks like wine are probably the one thing that compliments every kind of food. Wine does not only goes well with food and music but also with occasions and certain situations, may it be at home or in a condo living. Sometimes we can see different wines placed in a cabinet merely for home and condo design but guess what, it is just being saved for timely occasions.
From season to season, we have wines partnered for every occasion, every dish, every taste, and every budget. Wines are always there for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or even our success like buying a new house or a ready for occupancy condo.
There are red, white, roses, sparkling, rich, and sweet. And within each variety of young and old drinks, there are full-bodied or light wines that are very dry and contain almost no sugar, while there are very sweet wines that contain more than 700 g of sugar per liter. On the other hand, there are wines with 2% alcohol and wines with 22% alcohol. Some wines are made from unripe grapes, while others are made from almost dry raisins.
The possibilities are endless as there is always the right kind of wine for every occasion.
Here are the best 10 wines to drink this Christmas Eve
Domaine des Terres Dorées, Le Ronsay
This is a pale red wine and one of the underrated grape varieties in local wines. This special wine is from JP Brun, one of the most loved and favorite winemakers of all time. It is deliciously rich and affordable as it can be easily enjoyed with a variety of seafood and chicken, including a lot of Filipino cuisine. Its retail price is 1,175 pesos.
Yellowtail Pink Moscato
Another wine tastes like fresh strawberries, but with the addition of fairy smooth and cotton candy with green apples. Due to the additional sweetness of the other two flavors, the yellowtail Moscato is almost the same as the arbor mist White Zinfandel Strawberry. However, this drink is a little sweeter and you can taste the sourness of green apples a little more. The result is a sour note that cuts the sweetness of strawberries and can be enjoyed with a light splash finish on the drink. This is available for 425 pesos.
La Ferme Du Mont Cotes du Rhone “Première Côte”
This lovely mix of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre from the Rhone Valley is what people usually order at the bistro or a gastropub when enjoying a nice and light lunch with family and friends. It has a flavor of fruitiness and is good with acidity. This wine costs 1,000 pesos.
Warburn Estate Gossips Dolcetto & Syrah Sweet Lips
Gossips are one of the most popular affordable wine brands. They are primarily known for offering sweet wines such as Dolcetto & Syrah Sweet Lips Wines that offer a lighter interpretation of fruity red wines. The fruity aroma of strawberries and dark berries makes it a drink that is sweet on the tongue, yet it has a distinct berry aroma effect. This only costs 379.50 pesos.
Rinuite Lambrusco
When it comes to light, Lambrusco is probably at the top of the list. Some people describe it as sparkling wine or carbonated drinks. All in all, this is very fruity, with strong notes of blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries and a touch of bitterness, making it a refreshing drink. A perfect partner with pizza and pasta. You can buy this online for only 335 pesos.
Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon
Serve a glass of red wine at Noche Buena with yellow-tailed Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is an example of a classic, rich red wine known for its classic and velvety taste. And this particular wine is accompanied by blackcurrant, sweet mocha, and spice hints on black cherry and chocolate notes. It is perfect for intimate dinners and gatherings. It also goes well with meat pasta dishes such as lasagna, spaghetti, and steak. Cabernet Sauvignon costs 431 pesos.
Barefoot Merlot
No one beats a classic Merlot. Along with Cabernet, it's probably one of the most notable red wine varieties. It goes well with food and is perfectly fine to consume on its own. In contrast to the stronger Sauvignon, this is softer and therefore easier to drink. Beginners and experienced wine lovers alike can enjoy the fruity taste of cherries, boysenberries, and plums with hints of chocolate. It will only cost you around 495 pesos.
Santa Rita Sauvignon Blanc
Red wine is always the most balanced with bottles of white wine. For the nuances of citrus fruits, the spicy acidity that gives a slight kick, and the smooth texture that wraps around the tongue, Sauvignon Blanc from Santa Rita is recommended. This drink is best served before dinner or with cold appetizers and seafood. You can serve this bottle just before dinner and give it a try when your main meal is ready. Its retail price is only 422 pesos.
Woomera Sweet Red Wine NV
If you're looking for a red wine that's not too bitter, consider Woomera's Sweet Red Wine. It is sweet and fruity with a tannin scent. That way, you won’t feel like you are just drinking a simple grape juice. The taste is the scent of red fruits with a hint of citrus fruit. If you're looking for an accessible wine to drink with, this one is perfect. This is also great if you want to serve wine to your guests. You can buy Woomera Sweet Red Wine for only 399 pesos.
