Start the Day with Bubbly
Every great Christmas begins with bubbles. Champagne Gardet Brut Tradition NV is beautifully dry and aged on lees for 36 months - the perfect drop to toast your guests on arrival. Or take it up a notch with Louis Roederer Collection 246 NV, a superbly balanced and refined Champagne that pairs beautifully with prawns or crayfish.
For sparkling wine lovers, Hunter’s MiruMiru Brut - winner of 7 trophies and 10 Gold Medals, is a sub-$27 gem, bright and creamy alongside seafood. For something a little festive and fun, Teusner MC Sparkling Shiraz 2020 adds cheer to Christmas breakfast - delicious with bacon and eggs!

Wines to Make Your Seafood Shine
A Kiwi Christmas often calls for seafood and sunshine. Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2024 bursts with zesty citrus and mineral energy - a natural partner for mussels or white fish.
For something lighter, Terra Sancta Pinot Noir Rosé 2025 is delectably dry and perfectly paired beside smoked salmon or sashimi. Bring a touch of French elegance to your table with Victorine L’Audacieuse Rosé 2024 - a beautifully pale Southern French rosé layered with red berries and delicate florals, pairing effortlessly with seafood, smoked salmon, or sashimi.

For the Main Event
Whatever’s on the menu this Christmas, Fine Wine Delivery have a bottle to match. Kumeu River Estate Pinot Gris 2025 balances gentle spice and pear, pairing beautifully with roast chicken or vegetable mains. Isabel Estate Wild Barrique Chardonnay 2024 is lush and creamy - a standout with roast pork or smoked salmon.
Te Kairanga Runholder Pinot Noir 2024 offers plush fruit and soft tannins that complement glazed ham or lamb, while Rippon Mature Vines Pinot Noir 2022 brings depth and elegance to the table. Craving something bold? Bilancia La Collina Syrah 2024 delivers richness and class with roast beef or lamb.
For something more relaxed, Jim Barry The Barry Bros Shiraz 2022 is a crowd-pleaser for barbecued meats, while Clos l’Hermitage Lalande-de-Pomerol 2021 pairs beautifully with lamb or hard cheeses.

Something Sweet to Finish
No Christmas is complete without a sweet finale. Pegasus Bay Encore Noble Riesling 2025 shines with pavlova or fruit desserts, its golden sweetness perfectly balanced. Yalumba Antique Muscat NV is rich and velvety - divine with Christmas pudding or blue cheese - while Lustau San Emilio Pedro Ximénez NV is pure indulgence, a chocolate-laden sip to close the day in style.

Every product in Fine Wine Delivery’s Christmas Mailer has been tasted, rated, and guaranteed by their expert panel. Their philosophy is simple - if they wouldn’t drink it themselves, they won’t stock it.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
