Chinese New Year is just around the corner, so time to think about wine for your celebrations. Here are some ideas for wines to try during the holiday season.

• Sparkling Wine - Traditional Method wines such as Champagne, Cremant, MCCs, or English Sparkling are great for a celebration. They are delicious and food friendly. If you want a hint of sweetness, check out an Extra Sec / Sec.

• White - Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc can be divisive so why not try a Chenin Blanc or Riesling instead.

• Red - Pinot Noir or Gamay are crowd pleasers not too heavy, lighter tannins and they go with a range of foods.

• Sweet Wine - for those of you who prefer a sweeter wine, why not try a Tawny Port or Medium Dry / PX Sherry instead?
